Why station an ambulance on site?
Çorlu is one of Thrace’s industrial centres, with thousands working shifts in leather, textile, machinery, chemical and food plants. After an accident, the first minutes decide the outcome; a vehicle already on site shortens them. The crew also handles any illness during contracted hours — chest pain, fainting, allergic reactions — and takes the patient to hospital if needed.
Is it mandatory?
Employers must be prepared for emergencies and arrange first aid and emergency medical response under occupational health and safety law. Whether an ambulance is required at your site depends on hazard class, headcount, the work and your risk assessment; your safety specialist and workplace doctor decide, and we build the service to their specification.
Set-up in five steps
- Site visit with your safety specialist
- Standby point with fast access and near the exit
- Hours matched to production shifts
- One number or radio channel for raising the alarm
- A short drill
| Pattern | When chosen |
|---|---|
| Day only | Single-shift plants and construction sites |
| Day + evening | Two-shift production |
| Three shifts | Higher-risk, continuous operations |
| Set periods | Shutdowns, overhauls, new-line installation |
When the vehicle leaves with a patient, the contract provides for a back-up vehicle, trained first-aiders on site, or a second vehicle at very large plants. See ambulance cover between shifts. For temporary needs: ambulance hire.
Frequently asked questions
Will the on-site ambulance respond outside the facility?
No. During contracted hours it serves only the contracted site.
Is the crew the same every day?
As far as possible, so they know the site and its risks; rotation is set in the contract.
How soon can the service start?
After the site visit, planning and contract; timing depends on the size of the site and the shift pattern.
