TOUGH MUDDER Twin Cities 2021 Event Operations Plan Medical Arrangements Tough Mudder events attract large numbers of people and are physically challenging by their nature. Tough Mudder maintains an International Safety Committee,which is responsible for assessing risks and establishing mitigation measures at all obstacles on the course. On-site medical care at Tough Mudder events is conducted by Event Medic Services (EMS),who are responsible for recruitment and dispatch of EMTs, paramedics, lifeguards, and other medical professionals involved in the event. While participants and spectators are on site, a consistent medical presence is maintained. Every Tough Mudder event will include a fully staffed and fully stocked medical tent, which will provide basic lifesaving care. Medical personnel ranging from first responders to paramedics are stationed at various locations around the course. Every event will have five medical rover teams with two EMTs each. These rovers will circulate the course in pre-identified zones to provide emergency care, transport injured participants, and otherwise monitor the safety of the course. Every rover is equipped with a backboard, stokes basket, and automated external defibrillator. Tough Mudder will contract with local ambulance providers at each venue to ensure ALS-level coverage for significant injuries or medical emergencies.The ambulance contracts are typically executed about 30 days before the event date. Information about each event's ambulance provider, the event Incident Action Plan, and further details can be provided on request 30 days from the event. Additional information on Medical Arrangements can be found in the attached OCR Emergency Medical Action Plan. Incident Management The following measures have been put in place to ensure that any incident that does occur is quickly identified and responded to in an efficient and effective manner: ●Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) have been developed for a number of specific scenarios, and event team staff have been briefed on how to respond if such incidents occur. ●Key Event Operations Roles have been identified for the event, responsibilities for each role have been clearly defined, and each role will be filled by an experienced Tough Mudder staff member. ●Details of all major incidents will be logged in the ECC by ‘Control’ or a logger on a real-time basis, ensuring an up-to-date record of what has occurred,actions taken in response, and relevant timings. ●A number of medical staff as well as 2-3 ambulances will be on site throughout the event. ●The local Police and Fire Departments have been informed about the event and appropriate contacts have been identified should additional assistance be required on site. ●Emergency vehicle access points and a helicopter landing area have been identified for the site and included in plans, should these be required. ●Incident Report Forms are available on site and all staff will be instructed to complete these for any incidents they witness/report. 10/21
