Do we need Intermediate or Advanced Life Support ambulance for sports event?
Depending on the sport event’s size and the sport legal requirements, our sports events manager helps you select the correct ambulance level of care tailored to the risk level of your sports event, to ensure compliance with the Safety at Sports and Recreational Events Act
For low risk sport events, an Intermediate Life support Ambulance with ILS paramedics can provide onsite medical services. For high risk sporting events, such as rugby, swimming, soccer, cricket, hockey we offer Advanced Life Support (ALS) paramedics, fully equipped Advanced Life Support ambulances and medical stations for on-site medical care. Remember, not having an on-site event standby medical solution invalidates your public liability insurance leaving you legally and financially exposed. The choice between Advanced Life Support ambulance and intermediate should be properly considered

In KwaZulu Natal, do we need on-site ambulance, paramedics for a sport event?
Imagine hosting a sports event packed with athletes and supporters. The turnout is great—but so is the risk. Chances are you don’t know the medical history of everyone attending, you don’t know their criminal backgrounds. You may also not know if they have medical aid cover. What’s the worst that can happen?
If a player collapses on the field or a spectator gets stabbed, who does the law hold responsable? Unfortunately, the event organizer is held liable for the medical costs of everyone attending a sports event, and for loss of income claims if the injuries are serious.
