Emergency Medical Response

The step-by-step first aid and escalation procedure every Redback technician follows when an incident occurs on-site — WHS-aligned and audit-ready.

Emergency Medical Response

Stay calm. Act fast. Keep people safe.

Every Redback technician is trained on the same emergency medical response procedure. It's simple, WHS-aligned and designed so the right things happen in the right order — regardless of where the job is or who's on site.

  • Stop work and make the area safe.
  • Provide first aid within competence.
  • Call emergency services if required (000).
  • Notify supervisor and office.
  • Record details after immediate safety has been addressed.

Why this is a commercial & Council requirement

For any site with a WHS management system — Council, school, aged care, hospital, food business, warehouse — the contractor's emergency response procedure is part of the site's compliance. Redback's procedure is documented, trained and reportable so it slots straight into the client's WHS system.

Prepared, responsive, people-focused, accountable

Technicians carry basic first-aid. We plan for emergencies, act quickly and calmly, put health and wellbeing first, and record and improve after every incident.
