this comprehensive program. WHAT MERT IS
The Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT)
program provides advanced medical emergency training to non-healthcare professionals. This
training furnishes each MERT member with the skills to provide immediate and temporary
care to a seriously ill or injured employee at the workplace. This care is delivered
during "everyday" emergencies and in the event of a local disaster (such as an
earthquake, explosion, Haz Mat spill, et cetera).
In many cases, MERT members will respond to an
emergency and provide treatment as an individual or as a team. For some, it
will be to augment an on-staff medical professional and outside emergency medical
personnel (9-1-1).
