In an office, you must prioritise your staff’s health, wellbeing and safety. While this includes long-term considerations, such as medical cover and health care services, short-term health and safety are also crucial.
While not the most dangerous working environment, accidents and medical emergencies can still happen in an office. Wright Medics is here to help by offering experienced medical support paramedics, an important consideration when providing medical cover.
WHY DO OFFICES NEED MEDICAL SUPPORT PARAMEDICS?
The medical services provided by our high-quality emergency paramedics make a massive difference for the following reasons:
- You get immediate medical services; this is crucial if a worker suffers from a severe injury or cardiac arrest (for example)
- Regular health check-ups can detect minor illnesses and injuries before they become serious
- Training from paramedics can improve your awareness and preparedness for emergencies
- It reduces the likelihood of injuries in the workplace
- The increased sense of protection and security will increase morale
- You must provide adequate facilities and personnel to unwell and injured staff (Health and Safety Regulations 1981).
HOW CAN WRIGHT MEDICS HELP WITH ON-SITE PARAMEDICS?
Wright Medics’ paramedics conduct numerous services at office premises that help with employee health, safety and awareness.
Experienced and Knowledgeable Paramedics
At Wright Medics, all our paramedics are:
- Fully trained
- Registered
- Qualified – they have extensive experience in front-line ambulances and air ambulances
Your staff and guests will be in experienced, safe hands with our paramedics. They immediately assess injuries and provide treatment, which is crucial to ensuring the safety of your staff. This, combined with quick response times, makes them an effective team that dramatically increases workplace health and safety.
Additionally, the Wright Medics emergency response vehicles have the following equipment:
- Monitoring equipment
- Medical gases
- Paramedic drug therapy
- Defibrillators
- Other equipment we deemed necessary in our risk assessment
On-site Medical Services
As well as emergency response services, Wright Medics can offer several on-site options.
For example, we offer on-site healthcare, where paramedics spot and treat minor illnesses and injuries. This prevents the injury or illness from escalating.
Escalation of an injury or illness can result in hospital treatment and downtime from work, so on-site services can benefit employees and employers.
You don’t necessarily need an illness or injury to use the on-site medical services. You can come in for medical advice; there’s no better place to ask medical questions you are embarrassed to ask.
Training for Improving Health and Safety
Wright Medics also offer a comprehensive training program to improve awareness and knowledge. We tailor our safety training programs to the office environment, so you only receive relevant training.
Our training modules can include:
- Accidents & Emergencies
- First Aid
- Electricity
- Fire
- Noise
- Stress
- Vibration
- Confined Spaces
- The Environment
- Personal H&S – Legal Duties
- Hazard Awareness
