5.3.8 Procedure in the event of an injured rider<br />
The management of an injured rider is under the control of the CMO and should<br />
be the following:<br />
A fallen rider must be reached by a Doctor or Paramedic who can begin treatment<br />
within 30 seconds of the rider coming to rest. If the rider is injured, the CMO must<br />
be informed by radio so that further procedures can be initiated. It is recommended<br />
that the CMO be stationed in Race Control with access to Closed Circuit Television<br />
to monitor the situation. Upon request by the CMO any Medical Vehicle can be<br />
dispatched to the scene of the incident, only the Race Director can authorize entry<br />
onto, or response via track. Similarly, interruption or cessation of racing or practice<br />
session can only be authorized by the Race Director. It is the responsibility of<br />
the CMO and Medical Director to advise the Race Director of incidences where<br />
access to a fallen rider(s) necessitates this.<br />

the trackside.<br />
The vehicle used to transfer the rider must be on scene of the accident with<br />
minimum delay following the order to intervene.<br />
