Medical Rescue Team For Remote Sites
In high-risk environments such as the oil, gas/mining industry, taking the proper safety precautions must never be overlooked. These working environments are typically at remote areas where there is limited access to health care and emergency services so paramedics and mine rescue teams should always be on stand-by. The medical services available for remote areas include complete on-site and mobile clinics, personnel: doctors, nurses, paramedics, medics and rescue specialists, ambulance vehicles and medical equipment, advanced life-support equipment, pre and post-employment medical assessments, drug and alcohol testing programs, vaccination and immunisation services/records, psychological testing and review, international medical repatriation (Medevac), return-to-work programmes, first aid courses (nationally accredited training) and kits, Necksafe® acute spinal injury management, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) courses, helicopter and HUET training, safety, rescue and extrication equipment and training, mine rescue, fly-in / fly-out specialist staff.
Providing medical care in remote areas is a very specialised and delicate field. Plenty of variable factors need to be accounted for such as location of the incident, proximity to the nearest treatment facility, available equipment, the kind of treatment required, and many more come into play making treatment a little more complicated than when in a hospital setting. On top of medical skills, paramedics and mine rescue teams have to be physically fit and agile to maneuver through terrains, technically proficient with using the tools available to them, and work exceptionally well in stressful situations. To be accredited as legitimate mine rescue paramedic, there are intensive training courses they must undergo and pass.
Expert teams like the ones behind Immediate Assistants not only provide mine rescue and paramedics, they also conduct the rigorous training and accreditation courses. Their nationally accredited training courses include medical services for remote areas like senior first aid, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), advanced resuscitation, NeckSafe® acute spinal management, defibrillation (AED), EMT, paramedical skills, Epipen (Anaphylaxis) and analgesic gases (Entonox and NO2).
Expert paramedics and mine rescue teams work long and hard as what is demanded of them is no easy feat but they more than anyone are the most prepared for whatever emergency situations may arise. Be meticulous in choosing the teams you will work with, trust only the best and don’t leave anything to chance.
