HOW VULNERABLE ARE YOU?
We are able to provide immediate on-site medical support. Insurers rely on resources which are often more than 4 hours away. Not only do we save lives we also reduce the impact on operations and enhance the guest experience by bringing medical support right to your door.
- Have you identified all potential medical emergencies in your area of operation and the type of incidents that can arise from those risks?
- Have you clearly identified a Medical Response Team within your staff?
- Is your staff trained in WILDERNESS First Aid?
- Do you have an emergency response plan in place to prevent error and guide your team?
- If yes to the above, have you tested your emergency response plan?
- Do you have advanced medical equipment on site to cope with a spinal injury or snake bite?
- Do you have Wilderness First Aids Kits on site, and are the contents adequately stocked and still valid (not expired)?
- Do you know where the closest hospital in your area is, how long it takes to get there and the condition of their Trauma and ICU departments?
- Do you have access to an emergency medical response unit based in your reserve or in close proximity to your reserve?
- Would you know what level of ambulance to call in an emergency and how to access them?
- Do you know how to secure a guarantee of payment from your guests' travel insurance?
- Do you know that a person allergic to aspirin cannot take Nurofen?
- Do you know that the Department of Labour prohibits giving medication of any kind to guests, even if the medication can be bought over-the-counter?
IF YOU RESPONDED “NO” OR “I DON’T KNOW” TO ANY OF THE ABOVE,
YOUR ORGANISATION IS AT RISK. SO ARE YOUR GUESTS AND STAFF
