to report -
An incident that causes any players, manager/coach, umpire, or volunteer to

Safety. This includes even passive
treatments such as the evaluation and diagnosis of the extent of the injury or
period of rest.
When
to report -
All such incidents described above must be reported to the League Commissioner within
48 hours of the incident, who will in turn notify the GRBA Director of

Director
of Safety’s Responsibilities - Within 48 hours of receiving the incident report, the Director of
Safety will contact the injured party or the party’s parents and (1) verify
the information received; (2) obtain any other information deemed necessary; (3)
check on the status of the injured party; and (4) in the event that the injured
party required other medical treatment (i.e., Emergency Room visit, doctor’s
visit, etc.) will advise the parent or guardian of the GRBA’s insurance
coverage and the provisions for submitting any claims.
If
the extent of the injuries is more than minor in nature, the Director of Safety
shall periodically call the injured party to:
(1) check on the status of the injuries; and, (2) check if any other
assistance is necessary in areas such as submitting insurance forms, etc. until
such time as the incident is considered “closed” (i.e., no further claims
are expected and/or the individual is participating again).
