All injuries or illnesses must be reported to the UNBC BMAP Research
Manager (who will inform the UNBC Risk and Safety Office) AND to PTPLP / KM
LNG
All serious injuries must also be reported to WorkSafeBC
Emergency within the active work area of PTPLP or KM LNG
How
you contact emergency assistance will depend on your location.
If you are working within the active work zone of KM LNG or PTPLP then
there will be a medical team on site to assist you.
In the case of collapse or serious injury:
1.
Ensure the accident scene is safe and that there
is no further danger to you or the injured person.
2.
Do not move the injured person unless there is a
high risk of further injury and it is safe to do so.
3.
Keep calm and do not leave the injured party
unattended.
4.
Call for the First Aid Attendant immediately and
report the exact location (kilometer number along the road) of the patient and
the patient’s condition
5.
Be prepared to assist when directed by the First
Aid Attendant
Emergency Contact for PTPLP / KM LNG
sites:
Use the active radio channel for the
worksite provided at checkin
On the radio clearly and calmly call:
MEDIC – MEDIC – MEDIC
Emergency working outside of the work area of PTPLP or KM LNG
If
you are working outside of the area overseen by the PTPLP / KM LNG First Aid
Attendants, then your team is responsible for your own emergency support.
For each field site that you are working in, the team supervisor will
need to determine what the most appropriate means of obtaining external support
is (i.e., cell phone coverage, satellite phone, VHF radio relay, SPOT). (Note
that the SPOT will convey the most detailed locational information, if the
signal is successfully sent, but you are not able to communicate any detailed
information nor are you able to receive any information.
Each field lead is also responsible for having available for each team
member the relevant emergency contact information.
In the case of
collapse or serious injury
1.
Ensure the accident scene is safe and that there
is no further danger to you or the injured person.
2.
Do not move the injured person unless there is a
high risk of further injury and it is safe to do so.
3.
Keep calm and do not leave the injured party
unattended.
4.
If the injury cannot be attended to by the level
of the First Aid training within the field crew, contact external assistance.
Note
that you will need to develop a specific set of contact numbers of each field
context (i.e., depending on what type of communication is available to you at
that type of site).
When
developing the order of contact methods for a given type of site, consider:
·
If PTP VHF Repeater available use that radio
frequency first
·
Is Cell Phone Service available – good means of
communication if coverage is available
·
Is a Satellite Phone Available – communication
more difficult but details can still be sent
·
Use the SPOT Communicator – good location
information if signal is uploaded, but limited ability to communicate
information (unless using a SPOT Messenger connected to a Smart Phone).
