Our primary safety goals for our company revolve around protecting the health and well-being of all attendees and staff by providing effective, prompt, and appropriate medical care, while minimizing the impact on local emergency services.
Key safety goals include:
- Prompt and Effective Emergency Response: Ensuring that our medical staff can rapidly respond to any incident, from minor injuries to life-threatening emergencies, and provide immediate, high-quality care to stabilize patients. This includes having appropriate equipment like Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) readily available and staff trained in basic life support and advanced techniques.
- Comprehensive Risk Assessment and Planning: Conducting thorough pre-event medical and clinical risk assessments to identify potential hazards and create detailed emergency medical plans that are specific to the event’s unique environment, crowd demographics, and potential risks (e.g., weather, alcohol/substance use).
- Minimizing Impact on Local Emergency Services: Having a sufficient level of on-site medical and ambulance provision to manage as many incidents as possible within the event grounds, thus preventing unnecessary strain on local hospitals and ambulance services.
- Efficient Evacuation and Transport: Establishing clear protocols and access routes for emergency vehicles, and having plans in place for rapid and safe transport of critical patients to a hospital if necessary, including potential airlifts for remote locations.
- Clear Communication and Coordination: Implementing robust communication channels among our medical team, event control, security, and external emergency services to ensure everyone is on the same page and can coordinate effectively during an emergency.
- Proactive Infection Control Management: Promoting good infection control practices, ensuring adequate sanitation facilities, and addressing potential public health concerns (e.g., food safety, infection control) to prevent the spread of illness at the event.
- Staff Competence and Training: Ensuring our medical and support staff are appropriately trained and competent to perform their roles safely and effectively, with ongoing training and post-event debriefings for continuous improvement.
- Documentation and Compliance: Maintaining accurate patient records and incident reports, and ensuring all plans and operations comply with relevant local and national health and safety regulations.
Ultimately, our goal is to create a safe and healthy environment where attendees and staff feel secure and can enjoy the event experience with confidence that professional medical help is readily available if needed.
