First Aid 101
First Aid Assistance
IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE PROTOCOL

How to Call for First Aid & Manage Medical Distress
Ensure you provide First Aid with the three most important pieces of information they need:
- Who you are
- Where you are
- What is happening (keep it simple i.e. “I am with an unconscious patient”)
The First Aid l team will move quickly to help you, once you call for their assistance. The following are some basic steps that can help you while First Aid arrives at your location.
Basic First Aid
ASSESS: Evaluate the patient's condition. Check for breathing, pulse, and responsiveness or unresponsiveness to pain stimulus. If unconscious, do not hesitate to apply a second stimulus attempt to rouse the patient.
REPORT: Immediately communicate the incident to First Aid, providing key information:
- Who you are
- Where you are
- What has happened or is happening
AIRWAY: Ensure the airway is open.
CPR ADMINISTRATION: Administer CPR if necessary until medics arrive. Do not administer any medications of any kind to the patient without notifying First Aid.
MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION PROTOCOL
- Only if the patient is conscious and can instruct you to help them take life-saving medications (e.g. EpiPen)
- Always notify First Aid of any medication administration.
Naloxone / Narcan FAQ
NALOXONE TRAINING OVERVIEW
- Many team members and volunteers are trained in administering Naloxone.
- Formal training for additional teams will not be provided onsite.
NALOXONE PLACEMENT

SCOPE OF USE
- Naloxone (Narcan) is specifically for opioid overdoses only: fentanyl, heroin, or codeine.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE
- In the case of an overdose, the First Aid team will be on the scene within minutes.
- Immediate action is to open the patient's airway and assist with rescue breathing if necessary.
Administering rescue breaths is the primary action for opioid overdoses.

FIRE AWARENESS
Fire Safety
If you see a fire:
- Inform Security, First Aid or any team member with a radio.

ORIENTATION FAQ's
I’ve purchased General Admission tickets using a payment plan. Can I upgrade to the Art Installation Pass to include all the accreditation?
No. If you have purchased General Admission tickets or are currently on a payment plan and wish to upgrade those tickets to the complimentary Art Installation pass, Bass Coast is unable to facilitate this request. In such cases, you will need to complete the payments and or sell your existing tickets.
Since my team has already bought General Admission tickets, can we use them instead of buying the General Admission Pass included in my contract?
Yes. If you or your team have purchased GA tickets or are currently on a payment plan and wish to upgrade with Art Installation accreditation, Bass Coast will cancel your existing General Admission Purchase passes linked to your contract. For payment plans, upon completion of payments, your tickets will be upgraded to include Art Installation accreditation.
All necessary information for facilitating this upgrade, including the TICKIT.ca order number, will be collected on the Accreditation form (to be sent in mid-May).
Can I check in at Main Gate instead of Staff Gate?
The Staff Gate is highly preferred for all artists, in-house teams, and volunteers to check in before proceeding to the Main Gate for access to Camp B & C. All accreditation processes are exclusively handled at the Staff Gate.
It is crucial to note that if you choose to enter through the MAIN GATE, you must immediately check in again at the Staff Gate, as the temporary wristband will expire shortly thereafter.
After Wednesday at 1 PM, you may join the General Admission lineup and enter through the Main Gate to obtain a date and time-stamped temporary wristband. There are ‘no skip the line” privileges until Thursday at 11 AM.
Can I skip the line at Main Gate on Wednesday if I already have my credentials?
No, there are “no skip the line” privileges on Wednesday for any artists, in-house team or volunteers.
Beginning Thursday at 11 AM, those who have checked in at the Staff Gate and have all their credentials can skip the line at the Main Gate.
Drive past the entrance to the Main Gate line and turn left behind the Main Gate Office. Security will stop to search vehicles and check credentials.
Is there a re-entry fee if I leave Bass Coast to purchase supplies in town?
Starting Friday, July 12, at 12 PM for all gates, there is a $20 re-entry fee per vehicle if you need to leave Bass Coast for supplies.
