 Operational Medicine for workplaces and high risk environments

Is your work place prepared and ready for a medical emergency? A Mass Casualty Incident? What medical and logistic roles do the employees take in the first minutes – which are the crucial minutes – until the arrival of the national medical services? How can one prepare in advance for specific incidents that characterize your work place, and maintain this level of preparedness?

Operational Medicine is the overall sum and solutions from the medical, operational, logistic and managerial point of view – in medical emergencies (prevention, preparedness and treatment) and mass casualty (preparedness and treatment until arrival of EMS personal)

The long term implications include recognition of specific dangers, assistance in writing medical protocols, maintaining preparedness level, refreshing emergency equipment, specific drills and scenarios, feedback on drills etc.

 

Recognizing and evaluating specific dangers

The first stage begins with our learning process. Our expert staff will begin by meeting with the Safety managers and management, in order to conduct a preliminary review and to assess any possible medical dangers. According to your experience and ours, we will point out logistic and medical scenarios.

Evaluation of dangers does not end here. Like every learning process, at each stage of the process we will meet again in order to achieve the best professional team, with a strive for professionalism, skills and maintenance of a high professional level of Operational Medicine

 

Medical preparedness

Each shift should have employees who have secondary responsibilities – that of the Operational Medicine. They are the ones that their peer will turn to when in need – in a medical emergency. In mass Casualty – every employee will know their role.

It is a known factor that the first link to saving lives is in the hands of the person who is closest by. Different employees will go through different training, on different levels. By simple training, organization of the chaos in mass casualty can be maintained, and victims can be triaged and treated.

 

 Logistic Aspects of Operational Medicine

Each work place is different, and has different logistic aspects, that affect the medical array. One plant decided to purchase a golf cart in order to meet possible victims from the factory to the gate (after working out that the golf cart would arrive at the gate before the ambulance), another added chemical protection masks in their medical protection kits.

We are there to help you find the most cost beneficent effective solution for your needs.
