The number of industrial plants/off shore rigs and factories located in isolated or extremely congested areas where emergency evacuation by land would be difficult, in Nigeria are immense.
We have had significant demand from these industries, particularly within the oil and gas sector, to design a product specifically to meet this unique set of needs.
It turns out that many of these companies recruit expats from Europe/America and Asia to provide their expertise. One of the main issues for recruiters is how to guarantee their safety at work.
The team and I have thought about these issues at length and come up with the 'FLYING DOCTORS FOR INDUSTRY' product. This does not require every single employee to take out an individual plan, rather it covers the company as a whole.
This means that The Flying Doctors now can guarantee, in the event of an emergency at work anywhere in Nigeria, the individual(s) will be in a state of the art facility within minutes.
The Flying Doctors Nigeria also takes responsibility for training staff in basic life support skills on a course designed specifically for industrial environments as part of our package.
All Flying Doctors medics are HUET trained and winch trained, we are therefore capable of retrieving patients from areas where it is difficult or impossible to land as well as covering offshore facilities.
Taking out Flying Doctors Cover For Industry is a cost-effective way for any company to provide a safer working environment for it's staff as well as attract additional talent to the company. It boosts staff morale and therefore increases productivity.
