Isle of Man TT Marshals Association Incident Management Course Training ( IMC )

As with the Institute of Advanced Motoring training the Isle of Man TT Marshals Association uses acronyms to get the message across. Nonetheless I still manage to struggle remembering all the relevant words. So, for my sake as much as anyone else's, here they are : -

Upon being presented with an incident : -

AMEGA

Count to 10 before doing anything - don't become part of the incident

Assess situation - are flags out, are bikes slowing down

Make safe - remove debris, deal with hazards

Give Emergency Aid - if trained to do so / help medics

Get help - straight away call race control 

Deal with Aftermath - replace kit / write report if necessary

Upon dealing with the incident victim

DRSABC

Danger - check for danger to yourself and others, don't become part of the incident

Response - check victim for response, what's your name mate ?

Shout - for help call race control

Airways - check they are clear, do not stick fingers in mouth

Breathing - is the victim breathing

Circulation - does the victim have blood circulation

It is a whole lot to remember but attending an Incident Management Course Training course pieces it all together in a professional but friendly manner and fills in all the details.

This is the very serious end of Marshalling, which although it is to be taken seriously at all times, is a lot of fun in like minded company which makes you part of the event rather than a mere onlooker. Find out more on the website : -
