Common Chemical Accident Emergency Rescue Agency Functions

The emergency rescue of major and catastrophic chemical burn accidents, due to its wide coverage and complicated technology, has gone far beyond the scope of medical emergency alone. Therefore, in the ordinary course of time, we should formulate practical and feasible emergency rescue “preplans” for major chemical hazards. The group of chemical burns is listed as one of the important issues so that once an accident occurs, the emergency rescue system is quickly established according to the plan.

1. Rescue command group

The site of major and disastrous groups of chemical burn accidents shall, as soon as possible, establish an authoritative, efficient and capable headquarters to make uniform arrangements for the medical treatment of the wounded. The commanding group should generally locate the hospitals, schools, and institutions with obvious signs and convenient transportation, and quickly establish effective communication and communication facilities to ensure that the command and organization work are smooth and coordinate the arrangements for the volunteer forces that come to the rescue.

2. On-site rescue group

It is composed of engineering rescue workers and stretchers, responsible for plugging, decontamination, search and rescue of the wounded, maintaining order at the scene and defending state property.

3. Medical emergency team

Composed of medical personnel, it is responsible for the inspection, classification, and emergency treatment of the wounded on the spot, and organizes experts to conduct consultations to ensure that the rescue work is carried out scientifically and effectively.

4. Rescue Logistics Group

To ensure the supply of medical emergency supplies and necessary supplies for victims, to contact and arrange transportation, and to deliver wounded people, medicines, equipment, or other necessities.

All ambulance personnel and on-site emergency rescue team members must wear reliable personal protective equipment when they are on site.
