I work in the Oilsands in northern Alberta. The company I work for has EMR's and EMT-A's in the firehall, but the company also has RN's on site. In the critical pt's the RN's are used along with the EMT-A's to transport and provide care. We also call on ALS units from the city to meet us along the way, who are about 30 min. away. We have a medical director who has approved our protocols and skills. Other Oilsands plants have EMT-P as well as RN's and EMT-A's, they also have a medical director.
