If someone suffers a serious injury on a steep or difficult access worksite, transporting them along the ground by stretcher to the roadside may risk further injuries to the patient and possibly the rescuers. This is apparent in a BC Forest Safety MEDIVAC drill training video just now available. It features Technical Emergency Advanced Aero Medical (TEAAM) paramedics in an exercise long-lining a patient by helicopter to the landing and workers bearing a stretcher across the slash to do the same. Recognizing long-lining appears more dramatic, “it is actually much safer,” says TEAAM’s Miles Randell in the video. Given the increased WorkSafeBC First Aid expectations around emergency response planning including transporting injured workers by air when significant time can be saved in getting them to medical care the video is timely.
