METHODS FOR IMPROVING SAFETY CONDITIONS AND MITIGATING EMERGENCIES AT A WORK SITE

摘要

A method is provided for improving safety conditions at the work site and to respond to emergencies to mitigate the damage/injuries caused by such emergencies. The method may include positioning an emergency response system at a work site. The work site may be remotely located, e.g., a distance from additional local emergency response services. An exemplary work site may be an oil field site. The emergency response system may include a fire suppression system and a medical care unit. The fire suppression system may include a pump in fluid communication with a supply tank. The supply tank may store a fire retardant material. The fire suppression system may suppress a fire by pumping the fire retardant material from the supply tank through a delivery hose and onto the fire. The fire suppression system may further include a communication system to coordinate additional emergency response services.
