Clinic/First Aid Unit – Design and management
Companies performing large industrial projects are able to provide safe conditions for personnel on the work site by using on-site mobile clinics (first aid units) and trained medical personnel. The key factors determining the need of a site clinic are the remoteness of the project from a major city and availability of medical facilities and infrastructure in the area.
Opening of medical units at the factories and other industrial projects even if they are located close to major cities has also become a standard practice. Such medical units secure provision of first aid emergency response as well as monitoring the compliance of hygiene and sanitarily standards at the factory or project.
Professional risks are another factor which should be taken into consideration when designing a particular format for a site clinic.
GVA is working jointly with Emergency Medical Care (Paris) on the design and management of on-site clinics and medical staffing. International standards employed by Emergency Medical Care (Paris) during the design of such services are successfully combined with GVA local expertise in Russia and CIS.
