Abstract

Transport for the injured is one of the important countermeasures at the scene of a serious incident, but it has never been handled fully in a serious incident prevention plan. This study aims to evaluate the risk of those who are injured when a serious incident occurs. Three kinds of risks for the injured are defined: the transport risk; the medical confusion risk and the left behind risk and each of these is evaluated through the development of a simulation model. Case study results show, that if an airplane accident occurs at an offshore airport, the transport risk and the medical confusion risk have a trade-off relationship with each other, and there is therefore the possibility of reducing the risk by improving traffic conditions and the preparation of medical facilities.
