Huron County’s emergency
services manager David Lew is
going to be getting some advice on
handling calls in winter weather.
Councillors addressed
information at the April 2 meeting
regarding concerns about requests
for transfers during storms when
roads have been closed. Hospitals
have asked for an emergent patient
to be transported to a larger centre
for definitive care.
Lew had contacted other EMS
managers to see if they had been in
similar situations and if they have a
policy to deal with it.
Two pieces of relevant legislation
noted. A section of the Criminal
Code states “Every one who
undertakes, or has the authority to
direct how another person does work
or performs a task is under a legal
duty to take reasonable steps to
prevent bodily harm to that peron, or
any other person, arising from that
work or task.”A section of the OccupationalHealth and Safety Act states in part
that an employer shall take every
precaution reasonable in the
circumstances for the protection of a
worker.”
When the topic came up for
discussion at committee the general
consensus was that in adverse
weather conditions it wasn’t prudent
to transport a patient from one place
to another.
Lew was authorized to get a legal
opinion.
Councillor Deb Shewfelt of
Goderich sought some clarification.
“Certainly from a legal side we
shouldn’t, but there is also a moral
side.”
Warden John Bezaire of Central
Huron said that discussion had been
around emergent care. “There are
hospitals asking for a patient to be
moved from one hospital to another.
It was felt that as long as a patient
had sufficient care where they were
they should remain there.”
