OVW has announced their new safety protocols following the seizure suffered by ref Dallas Edwards. “These immediate protocols mark the start of OVW’s strengthened, ongoing commitment to the health and safety of our talent and everyone involved. This is a living, evolving effort that will grow as new best practices, tactics, and industry standards emerge. Our focus is long term well being for our talent, crew and fans. In partnership with the Epilepsy Foundation of Kentuckiana, OVW will host an April Seizure First Aid Certification Program for talent and staff. This training covers how to recognize different types of seizures, understand their impact, and respond with safe, appropriate first aid. Participants receive a two year certification. In partnership with Chris Nowinski, PhD, Co Founder and CEO of the Concussion & CTE Foundation, OVW will host an April Concussion Safety & CTE Prevention Training for talent and staff. This training will be added to the OVW Academy beginner syllabus moving forward. Through our partnership with Norton Healthcare, OVW will deploy additional trained medical staff at larger events on a case by case basis. Norton Healthcare will also provide CPR training for talent, staff, and contractors. In addition to referees and ring announcers being equipped with IFB (in-ear monitoring devices) and our ringside camera crew having production headsets for faster communication with the backstage team, our ringside timekeeper will now have a headset for fast, direct communication with the Director. This allows for immediate decisions to stop a match and check on the talent.”
