Concrete silo collapse: emergency medical services response to a mass casualty incident
The EMS response to this major incident generally adhered to the national guidelines and, furthermore, the communication within and between authorities was established according to guidelines. Important findings included the use of local resources by the incident command and improvised means for the evacuation of victims from a highly hostile environment. The triage of patients adhered to local and national major incident guidelines. Migrant workers have increased risk for occupational accidents.
