Accident/Incident Procedures Clause Samples
The Accident/Incident Procedures clause outlines the steps that must be taken when an accident or incident occurs in connection with the contract or worksite. Typically, this clause requires prompt notification to relevant parties, thorough documentation of the event, and cooperation in any subsequent investigations. It may also specify timelines for reporting and detail the responsibilities of each party in managing the aftermath. The core function of this clause is to ensure a clear, consistent response to accidents or incidents, minimizing confusion and facilitating compliance with legal and safety obligations.
Accident/Incident Procedures. Each driver involved in an accident or incident that occurs while operating a vehicle for the purposes of a run for the Board shall follow the CPS Vehicle Accident Procedures and shall report such accident/incident to Vendor who shall report such accident/incident to the Board as soon as possible, but in no event more than one (1) hour after any accident or incident. The initial report from Vendor shall be made by telephone or such other electronic method specified and determined appropriate by the Executive Director of STS. Any accident, no matter the severity, in which students are on board must be called into 911. The paramedics will check that the students do not need to be transported to the hospital and the police will complete an Accident Report. A copy of the Accident Report must be provided to STS within 24 hours of the accident. Each accident or incident must also be reported in writing to the Board. The written report must be received by the Board within twenty-four (24) hours after the occurrence of any accident or incident. The Board may, in its discretion, require an investigation of accidents or incidents including a written report identifying the corrective actions, video during time-period of the accident and time frame for implementation of such actions. While operating Board runs, Vendor may only transport Board students and others specifically assigned by CPS to such run. Drivers and Vendor-employed aides may not transport their children on any Board run. Vendor is not required to give the Board exclusive use of vehicles, provided there are no conflicts with the required run times or other Board requirements described herein. Only passengers approved by the Board may ride in any such vehicles at the same time as students.
