ICE advice
•
Make sure the person whose name and number you are giving
has agreed to be your ICE contact
•
Make sure your ICE contact has a list of people they should
contact on your behalf – including your place of work
•
Make sure your ICE contact’s number is one that’s easy to reach.
For example a home number could be useless in an emergency
if the person works full time
•
Make sure your ICE contact knows about any medical conditions
that could affect your emergency treatment – for example
allergies or current medication
To make an Emergency Services call (999 or 112)
There may be circumstances when your mobile phone, like any
other mobile, cannot guarantee a connection and an emergency
call cannot be placed due to network, environmental or interference
issues. You should never rely solely upon any mobile for emergency
services calls. We recommend a fixed line phone is retained at home
for emergency services calls. When making an emergency services
call, ensure that you give all the necessary information as accurately
as possible including your location.
