As used in this chapter the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
INJURY
In most cases, an injury is trauma caused by an external
force, such as a trip or a fall. An injury could also be a bee sting
or fainting due to stress or heat exhaustion.
VISITOR
A visitor is a person who is not a York County employee,
including but not limited to volunteers, prisoners, juvenile and other
detainees, students, athletes using county park facilities, spectators,
repair persons, sales persons, witnesses, clients and foster parents.
Whenever a visitor is injured while on York County property
or while riding in a York County vehicle, a Visitor Injury Report
shall be completed by a county employee who was directly involved
at the scene. The report forms are available from the Director of
Risk Management.
York County 911 shall be called, and York County 911 will notify
the Coroner and other appropriate municipal jurisdictions.
Since it is difficult to address the numerous circumstances
surrounding an injury, a phone call to the office of Risk Manager
would be appropriate for specific clarification shortly after a visitor
is injured.
