In the industrial factory setting, there is often the operation of complex, and potentially dangerous, machinery. Even with highly skilled operators and professionals, the potential for accidents is magnified in a setting that poses multiple dangers and opportunity for injury.
Wright Medics recognises the importance of both prevention, and the rapid response to any type of medical emergency in a factory setting. We specialise in providing medical support paramedics in industrial, factory environments, that are prepared to deal with any medical situation that arises calmly and efficiently.
Why Medical Support Paramedics are Essential for Factories
Factories are consistently busy, fast-paced environments, and it isn’t always possible to monitor the actions of every operator. Oftentimes, factory staff are relied upon to perform tasks and operate machinery that requires high levels of concentration and precision. Thus, the risk of medical emergencies subsequently increases, and the presence of medical support paramedic professionals can be invaluable.
Rapid response to emergencies
Accidents can happen rapidly and without warning, and in the event of emergency, every second counts in the swift treatment and containment of the injury. The treatment of the injury as it occurs is critical for the minimisation of its severity and the recovery period, beneficial for both the individual affected and the factory as a whole.
Downtime that has resulted from workplace accidents can incur company financial losses, through disrupted schedules and delayed work output through prolonged recovery periods. Hence, rapid treatment of injuries can help to mitigate these losses.
Additionally, in critical situations such as factory machinery accidents, rapid treatment is essential for the prevention of lifelong debilitating injuries, and preventing the escalation of certain injuries into more threatening conditions – such as infection.
Wright Medic’s Support Paramedic Services
Highly trained paramedics
Wright Medics employ fully trained, qualified and registered paramedics, so you can ensure that your staff or guests are in the safest, most capable hands. Their extensive ability to assess and immediately begin treating injuries is paramount when ensuring that every individual is awarded the best care in the event of an emergency or accident.
Every single medical support responder is a registered paramedic, with fully equipped emergency response vehicles – prepared for every scenario.
On-site medical centres
Wright Medic’s medical support paramedics are highly trained in emergency response, in addition to their ability to establish and manage an on-site medical centre. On-site healthcare will help to reduce the impact of smaller injuries or health concerns, and mitigate their escalation into issues that will require downtime from the factory.
Safety training
In settings where the risk of accident is significantly higher than usual, such as within a factory environment, it is critical that workers are equipped with the correct knowledge to keep themselves and those around them safe. Prevention is inherently better than cure, and our safety training programs can be tailored to the challenges that working in a factory present.
These programs encompass an extensive range of topics, including the correct use and handling of factory equipment, the operational safety of machinery, emphasising the importance of wearing the appropriate personal safety equipment (PPE), identifying and mitigating potential safety hazards, and demonstrating the correct procedures to follow in the case of an emergency.
Particularly in a factory setting, it is crucial to foster a safety culture in the workplace. Knowledge is power, and by increasing awareness of potential hazards to safety, staff are encouraged to take initiative and look out for their own safety and the safety of those around them. Take a look at our first aid training courses, delivered by practicing paramedics.
In addition to our First Aid training courses, Wright Medics also offer critical mental health and wellbeing training. Not only does this promote a thorough understanding and awareness of mental health issues, it also provides an ability to recognise early signs and be able to intervene and prevent escalation.
