MEDIREK can reduce risk on your construction or industrial site…
The construction and industrial sectors remain some of the most dangerous sectors to work within and so the cause to have a dedicated construction medics or industrial medics on your site has never been greater.
We can provide a wide range of medical personnel, working with you to identify the medical needs inherent to your site and then providing medics from first responders through to paramedics and nurses where necessary to address the need on your site. Where the need arises, we can also produce teams that hold specialist skillsets such as firefighting and confined space rescue to ensure our staff can reach a patient wherever they may be.
All staff provided are DBS checked, uniformed and hold relevant, recognised qualifications relating to the medical care they can provide. This ranges from FREC 3 and 4, RTACC through to HCPC registered paramedics and nurses.
Our industrial and construction medic teams can comprise of a single member of staff stationed amongst your site or facility through to entire teams operating in shifts to provide comprehensive cover. There are a range of benefits in employing an on-site medical team, such as:
- Increased Treatment Capability – The propensity for injury is heightened in many industrial and construction settings, and as such, it makes sense that you have increased capability in terms of treatment in order to ensure that your staff and any visitors are safeguarded. Furthermore, having a dedicated medical team helps you to fulfil your HSE responsibilities as an employer by ensuring you can provide appropriate care to any injured people.
- Reduced Risk Profiles – During the course of risk assessment, it may be appropriate to consider the application of a dedicated site medic or medical team as a mitigating factor, especially if you have staff who are working with particularly hazardous materials or machinery that might need a specialist response.
- Less lost time – Not only do your other staff not have to stop what they are doing to deal with the incident, but as our staff are professional medical staff with access to the same equipment as frontline 999 ambulance staff, the situation can be resolved far more efficiently by our staff.
- Injury Data – Our digital patient record system means that we can provide you with injury data to assist in risk management activities and preventing further injuries. We can also provide Health and Safety support to track these incidents and apply control measures as necessary.
- Greater Compliance – It is often a requirement when undertaking potentially hazardous work, such as working at height or within confined spaces, that you take appropriate measures to safeguard those workers and have ability to rescue them from that environment if necessary. Our staff can be on hand to provide that medical response, paired with relevant rescue skillset and equipment where necessary to far exceed that requirement.
- Employee Welfare and Morale – Not only are the medical staff present on your construction or industrial site for when things go wrong, but they can also help other staff members with a range of more minor ailments, injuries and even welfare issues. This creates a more welcoming workplace, but also reduces the employee’s need to seek treatment elsewhere.
Think Safety, Think Medics…
As we also provide health and safety consultancy services, this pedigree draws into everything else we do. Any new engagement on a construction or industrial site is meticulously risk assessed and a bespoke and comprehensive operations plan is developed to ensure that our staff know exactly what the hazards are on site, as well as the protocols for dealing with specified incidents. Our medics can also undertake basic safety assessment tasks, ensuring a continued safe environment on your site.
