Transportation Accident

Another potential crisis involves transportation accidents. Such incidents might include injury or loss of life resulting from an accident involving University owned and/or operated vehicles, as well as a commercial conveyance carrying University staff or students.

For such incidents, University officials should be prepared to provide basic directory information about the employees and/or students involved. There also may be a need to respond to how the travel was associated with the staff member's employment or a student's study at La Trobe University.

Family notification should be handled by the Dean of the faculty in which the individuals work or study.

If the vehicle was owned/operated by La Trobe at the time of the incident, information may be needed about who was operating the vehicle, they're training experiences, as well as information about the condition and maintenance of the vehicle.
