5) Ensuring documentation and evaluation
An essential prerequisite for teleconsultation is the availability of adequate information and communications technology (ICT). The reliability and durability of the ICT deployed must be assured along with the technical and organisational guarantee of data protection and data security. The availability of bi-directional and reliable audio transmissions (e.g. radio, satellite or IP telephony or mobile phones) is not always sufficient. The possibility for transmitting photos to the consulting physician and the availability of reliable, at least unidirectional, real-time video transmissions should be the standard. The consulting physician will be able to oversee a patient examination while remaining informed about the events transpiring on location. The integration of medical-technical equipment for transmitting and monitoring vital data establishes an essential foundation for the emergency physician in making decisions about necessary actions. Employers should provide documented instruction as to the use and deployment of information and ICT.
5. RISK ASSESSMENT
This chapter provides guidance about reasonable numbers of personnel to be EFA trained.
In renewable energy installations there are Normally Unmanned Installations (NUI) such as wind turbines; Manned Installations (MI) like Offshore Support Platforms (OSPs) and fixed building structures, which will require different FA measures. The following factors need to be considered 1 :
1) The nature of work activities performed at the site
2) Number of people on site
3) Project duration
4) Transportation options and availability
5) Transportation infrastructure
6) Geography
7) Climate
8) Security
9) Characteristics of the working population (e.g. age profile, gender mix, migrant status, etc.)
In general, in a high-risk situation, basic and enhanced FA as well as paramedic support may need to be immediately available. In a medium risk situation, basic FA should be immediately available with Enhanced FA available within a defined time, which is to be determined by the employer. In a low risk situation, time to provide Enhanced FA may be prolonged. However, health related considerations alone, may be the driver for
