EMERGENCY
OCCURRED
Incident briefing
Notifying the appropriate Responsible Person that an incident has occurred is the first step in
the initial response for all incidents. Notification information should include verification of the
type of incident and its exact geographic location.
Notification protocol as indicated in the document (Project specific) will be activated.
Once notification has occurred, incident command is established by the first arriving
responder, and the responding organizations activate and dispatch qualified personnel to the
response.
Depending on the severity of the incident, there may be notification requirements to inform
governmental entities and organizations of the occurrence of the incident.
First responders who provide front-line tactical response shall be trained specifically for the
tasks involved. They include First Aiders, Search-and-Rescue Team, Work at height Rescue
Team.
Here below are the steps to be taken in case of any general & trauma medical emergency:
• Remove the casualty from any danger only if his/her position is life threatening
and provided that the rescuer’s safety is not at risk. Any unnecessary movement
may worsen the injury.
• Call Doctor / Paramedic and ambulance immediately.
• Provide first aid only if trained.
• Assist the casualty until medical team arrives.
• Evacuation of the IP to the clinic.
• Stabilization of the IP.
• Evacuation of the IP to the Primary HCU and repatriation, if required.
Contractor will be accountable for the Medevac and in charge of the onsite Medical Support
(Primary care – Emergency Care) and Emergency Evacuation, lasting all Project life. Medical
Evacuation is addressed to Center of Medical excellence approved by CONTRACTOR
supported by Medical Service Provider.
According to many factors (e.g. level of emergency, security and weather conditions, hospital
capability) Medical Evacuation may be addressed inside or outside the country.
Furthermore, repatriation may be arranged after patient discharge. Anyone evacuated from
construction site due to illness or injury shall not return to work without a fitness to Work
certificate.
The Project medical center (Clinic) located in Contractor camp will be staffed and furnished
as per Contract requirements with the following items of emergency related equipment:
• Mobile phones will also be issued to medical staff.

Where the stabilization of patient and transportation by road is of high risk to patient a
helicopter will be made available for the transport. Due to the limitation in terms of range for
helicopters, the IP will be delivered to the nearest center of medical excellence. The Doctor in
consultation with ERTL will decide on best possible route, destination and manner of
transportation.
A Multiple Casualty situation is where the location, number, severity or type of live casualties
requires extraordinary resources or overwhelms current infrastructure.
The severity or type of casualty is decided at the triage sites and may change from time to
time. These levels of severity are referred to as RED (Cat-1, immediate), YELLOW (Cat-2,
urgent), or GREEN (Cat-3 delayed).
Triage principles must be applied wherever or whenever the number of casualties exceeds
the skilled medical help immediately available. Thus Triage should take place during
management of multiple casualty incidents ranging from simple multiple casualty personnel
transfer accidents to more complex disasters encompassing greater numbers of casualties.
Typical Triage sieve is used in major casualty accidents in order to sort patients into those
who need critical attention and immediate transportation to the hospital and those with less
serious injuries, as follows:
• The Doctor assigns the priority by appropriate color code and indicating the
destination for further treatment
• The Triage officer gives appropriate color coding according to the IP’s condition
• Triage sorts the injured into four priority groups:
o P1 RED – Immediate priority: those casualties who require immediate
lifesaving procedures
o P2 YELLOW – Urgent priority: those casualties who require urgent
treatment
o P3 GREEN – Delayed priority: those casualties who can wait for delayed
treatment
o P4 BLACK – Dead casualty.
