Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Casualties include responders. The term "casualty" does not refer to a victim who suffers loss or property damage. More specific terms may be used at incident sites to avoid confusion, such as "physically injured victim" or "psychologically injured victim," "injured victim" or "injured person" and "sick victim" or "sick person." As for fatalities, they are handled separately in the course of fatality management. At an incident site involving human and animal casualties, other specific terms should be used, such as "human casualty" or "animal casualty," to differentiate between humans and animals. 1, record 2, English, - casualty

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les victimes corporelles comprennent les intervenants. Le terme «victime corporelle» répond au besoin de différencier les victimes atteintes sur le plan physique ou psychologique des victimes ayant subi des pertes ou des dommages matériels. Afin d'éviter toute confusion sur un lieu d'incident, il importe d'utiliser des termes plus précis tels que «victime blessée physiquement» ou «victime blessée psychologiquement», «victime blessée» ou «personne blessée» et «victime malade» ou «personne malade». Quant aux victimes décédées, elles font l'objet d'une gestion distincte. Sur le lieu d'un incident qui comporte des victimes humaines et animales, il convient d'utiliser des termes plus précis tels que «personne blessée» et «animal blessé» pour différencier les humains des animaux. 1, record 2, French, - victime%20corporelle
