Industrial Medic

An Industrial Medic provides emergency health care at work sites in remote locations. You might be stationed at a mine site, oil rig or other isolated work location. You may respond to industrial accidents or medical emergencies and arrange for patients to be transported to medical facilities for further care. Industrial Medics also manage injuries and minor health issues for workers on site.

Industrial Medics should be good communicators and able to speak with people from a range of backgrounds. It’s important that you can make decisions quickly and remain calm in challenging circumstances. Industrial Medics should follow correct procedures and may have to prioritise the needs of multiple patients.
