🏢 ATTENTION BUSINESSES & EMPLOYERS 🏢
🚑 Workplace Medical Emergency Support – Bester EMS 🚑

At Bester Emergency Medical Service, we specialise in medical emergencies and IOD-related incidents in the workplace.

We understand that during an emergency, managers and safety officers are often under pressure — dealing with an injured employee, paperwork, and business operations all at once. Getting an injured employee to hospital is not always easy or practical.

Let us take that stress off your shoulders.

📞 It’s as simple as calling: 087 711 0001

What we do:

• Rapid response to workplace incidents

• Stabilise the injured employee on-site

• Transport to the nearest and most appropriate medical facility

• Allow 24 hours to submit required IOD documentation

• If the incident occurs over a weekend, documentation can be submitted by Monday

• Once discharged, we ensure the employee is safely returned to work or dropped off at home (within PE)

📲 SOS Emergency App

With our SOS emergency app, medical help is one push of a button away, giving you peace of mind for your staff at all times.

Be rest assured — in the event of any workplace incident, Bester EMS is here for you and your employees.
