What is the ratio of male to female medics?
About 3:2, but this fluctuates from season to season. [Top of page] Q: Why do you always refer to your employees as “Medics”, instead of using the more common term of “Band-Aids?” A: Great question! It used to be that First Aid was the least respected service in the oil industry, but a growing awareness of safety in the workplace has begun to break through this old mindset. As workers are becoming more exposed to first aid training, they are realizing how important medics are to their own personal safety on the job. There is a greater value on individual lives than there once was, and this is being reflected in peoples changing attitudes. In keeping with this change, we feel that “Band-Aid” is a derogatory term, denoting a superficial and casual profession. “Medic” properly portrays the true value of the role played by the First Aid Attendant in the Field.
