Quebec Mining Week 2023
April 24, 2023 marks the start of Quebec Mining Week. The aim of the event is to raise public awareness of the mining industry and highlight its successes. This field, often overlooked by Quebecers, plays an essential role in our daily way of life. As a partner to the mining industry, Airmedic makes a tangible contribution to the sector’s development. For more than ten years, the organization has been building trusting relationships with the mining members served by our operations, particularly in the field of air medical transport.
That’s why we’re proud to represent our members and put the safety of their employees first. This week, we’ll be highlighting four mining companies that stand out for their initiatives, innovations and safety measures for employees, suppliers and visitors.
Serving the mining industry
The mining industry is constantly evolving and demands an organized and safe environment for its workers. Whether the organization is exploring or operating, health, safety and environmental risks are always present.
The prevention of accidents in the workplace is based on various measures. Airmedic supports mining companies in drawing up their emergency plans and risk registers.
One of the key elements of this safety is the availability of reliable air medical transport and medical repatriation services. Indeed, for mining workers, having quick and efficient medical emergency rescues is a top priority. In remote or hard-to-reach areas, air medical transport often becomes the most reliable, effective, and fastest solution.
Tailored solution covered by air medical transport
Since 2012, Airmedic has coordinated and offered its members solutions tailored to each medical and geographical situation. It is essential that employees receive the best possible care in the event of an accident or medical emergency. Air medical transport enables rapid and efficient rescue by air, while medical repatriation ensures that employees are transported safely in case of medical emergency.
With six helicopters, seven medical aircraft and a team of specialized medical personnel, Airmedic stands out as a reliable partner for the industry. Its teams, highly trained in the latest medical protocols and equipped with cutting-edge medical technology, respond swiftly to every medical emergency situation.
Airmedic’s growth over the past decade continues. That’s why the organization continually reviews its procedures and improves its services to provide its members with air medical transport that is increasingly efficient, reliable, and safe.
