Risk Management & Emergency Response planning

Matrix Health Consulting is able to utilise an individualised approach to manage the medical risks and the health needs of the modern corporate traveller. Risks may arise whilst working on temporary site visits, working in remote areas as well as by general exposure to specific travel related illnesses and diseases.

Working in close cooperation with the relevant company, the medical risks of the group as a whole, and specifically, its key workforce are identified so that Medical Risk Management Plans can be devised. These plans ensure:

Protection of employee health and peace of mind whilst travelling
Fulfilling of duty of care obligations to travelling employees
Maintenance of business continuity and productivity
Comprehensive guidelines for management of medical and evacuation emergencies with clearly articulated lines of communication and command during emergencies
A reduction in unnecessary medical and travel health costs and thus a reduction in health related insurance and compensation costs
Adequate emergency medical and repatriation insurance coverage for the geographical site of operation which is matched to the local and regional standards of medical care

Emergency Medical Response Plans outline:

Pre-travel education and risk behaviour reduction for employees - as a group or individualised
Pre-site briefing incorporated within country specific briefings
Required Immunisation coverage tailored to geographic and occupational exposure
Pre-qualified medical providers to be identified locally
Procedures for accessing medical care locally and reporting of medical issues
Appropriate Medical Evacuation procedures and providers
Easy to follow guidelines in the event of medical emergencies with clearly articulated lines of communication and response
