Events are likely places for accidents to occur, yet when planning for an event, features like tasty meals, venues, and decorations are prioritized over the likelihood of an accident and how to manage it. While no one wants a party without the legendary party Jollof, you should prioritize having a first aid team for your event.
The likelihood of accidents increases the more people you have in a space
The more people you have in a space the higher the chances of a mishap. The presence of a first aid team for events ensures emergencies are swiftly handled and lives saved.
For instance
- An injured person e.g.., someone with broken bones needs medical attention right away before being admitted to the hospital
- Guests could also suffer from silent signs of heart attacks and go into shock.
These instances and many more like choking or fainting require prompt attention.
Having medical professionals on standby before being admitted into the hospital could mean the difference between life and death.
Events sometimes need on-site ambulance services, too.
Hiring a standby medical team like Emergency response Africa gives you access to our reliable ambulance services Which lets you enjoy these prompt services
- Reliable evacuation of accident victims when required
- partner-ready hospitals. ERA provides partner-ready hospital service to patients. This ensures our patients receive immediate attention when transported to a partner hospital.
Is a First aid team required for every event?
First aid teams are required for every event. Whether you’re hosting a small get-together or an elaborate party, first aid is a must-have service that can save lives and prevent serious injuries caused by accidents.
First aid kits are available at most stores and pharmacies, but if you’re looking for something more customized to your needs, consider hiring a professional company like Emergency response Africa as a standby medical team for your events.
Even small events need first-aid training.
The first thing to remember is that even the smallest of events can attract many people. If you don’t have a plan for how to treat injuries, there’s a good chance you’ll end up with more people needing care than you anticipated.
You might think your staff members or volunteers are equipped to deal with emergencies at events but Hiring a professional first aid team for events is your best bet that emergencies will be handled appropriately.
Remember that your staff or volunteer’s main role is not saving lives and without experience, might be overwhelmed when pressure kicks in or spreads further panic.
