How can I reach Airmedic in the event of an emergency?

Satellite telephone: 1 418 673-3322

Regular telephone: 1 877 999-3322

We always recommend that Airmedic members contact our emergency centre directly in case of need. Not only can our team, which includes medical managers, offer you medical advice, they can also deploy the appropriate resource and monitor the transport of the injured person from A to Z.

Unfortunately, space on board is very limited. In order to allow emergency care to be administered during transport, and in the interests of the person being rescued, we only allow an accompanying person in exceptional cases. This is at the discretion of the medical team on site.

Airmedic operates a fleet of medical airplanes and helicopters that are used for evacuation and air transport. However, the company can also deploy ground ambulances and call on partners depending on the situation of the casualty, the location of the accident, and the most appropriate hospital to receive the patient.

Yes. From local first responders to helicopter rental services to the Sûreté du Québec, Airmedic can call on external resources to provide ground or air transport, depending on the needs, condition, and location of an injured person. Airmedic deploys the appropriate resource according to the patient’s condition and the resource’s speed of response in reaching the patient.

We always recommend that Airmedic members contact our emergency centre directly in case of need. Not only can our team, which includes medical managers, offer you medical advice, they can also deploy the appropriate resource and monitor the transport of the injured person from A to Z.

We strongly recommend that you identify potential helipads near your place of business to facilitate emergency response. Having these helipads on hand helps to speed up the response and deployment of medical teams. To set up your helipads, contact [email protected].

Yes, Airmedic provides day and night protection for employees in the course of their work activities. If you have any questions about your protection, contact your Airmedic representative or write to us at [email protected].

Yes, several resources are available to help you learn about Airmedic services and prepare for a potential emergency. When you renew your membership, stickers and key chains are mailed to you so that your teams can keep them on hand. The Airmedic safety card also provides your teams with several resources; from first aid to preparing a landing site, this card is the ideal tool to have on hand. The water-resistant map, in pocket size, is practical and easy to slip into your pocket, toolbox, or even fishing tackle box.

When the Airmedic helicopter is deployed, the crew on board includes a pilot, a co-pilot and a medical team consisting of two medical experts, a nurse, and a paramedic. Depending on the situation, other resources may also be deployed, such as a respiratory therapist or even a doctor.

In general, employers are required to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for their employees. For example, in Canada, the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Bill C-21) requires employers to take every reasonable precaution to protect the health and safety of workers. This includes implementing appropriate emergency measures. While the law doesn’t specifically require the use of air evacuation and coordination services, they can be an integral part of your emergency measures, especially if you operate in high-risk environments or remote areas. They can help demonstrate that you are taking reasonable steps to protect the health and safety of your employees. Even if you are not legally required to use an emergency air transport service, incorporating such a service into your emergency plans can reinforce your compliance with the general requirements of occupational health and safety legislation.

Our aircraft are not equipped with winches for air rescues, which means we have to land. If space does not allow the helicopter to land, we can hover close to the ground. In this case, our medical team can be landed with their equipment to provide rapid care.

Airmedic helicopters can land at designated helipads and airports, often located close to hospitals, clinics or trauma centres. Helicopters can also land on improvised terrain, such as fields, open roads or other open spaces, provided safety conditions allow. Airmedic recommends an obstacle-free zone of 100 feet by 100 feet to ensure safe landing of its helicopters. This requirement ensures that helicopters can land and take off unhindered, minimizing risks to crew and patients.

No, it is not possible to choose the receiving hospital. Airmedic takes care of this selection. The decision is made on the basis of the patient’s medical situation, with the primary aim of ensuring the best possible care.

In Quebec, hospitals with heliports include Hôpital de Chicoutimi, Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke, and Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal. In addition, four new heliports are planned as part of Phase 1 of the government’s plan, at the Centre hospitalier régional de Lanaudière in Joliette, the Hôpital de Roberval, the McGill University Health Centre, and the Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal.

When Airmedic needs to transport a patient to a hospital without a helipad, they can identify an airport or open area near the hospital and coordinate with local partners to arrange ambulance transport to the hospital.

Yes, Airmedic recommends that you add any information relevant to the smooth running of a transport to your file, such as contacts, procedures, helipads, etc. These procedures can be sent to [email protected].

Yes, certain weather conditions such as snowstorms, blizzards, heavy rain, thunderstorms, dense fog and strong winds can make flying dangerous. In addition, reduced visibility due to dense fog, heavy snowfall and darkness can pose navigation hazards. Technical or mechanical restrictions, such as mechanical breakdowns, technical problems and scheduled maintenance, can also bring aircraft to a standstill. However, Airmedic can always deploy resources to help the injured by using other types of transport or by calling on its partners.
