MEDICAL BAY
AND FIRST AID
MODULES
Modular first aid rooms for mining and oil & gas camps. Designed to comply with ART regulations and project authorization requirements.
HEALTHCARE IN
THE FIELD
Law 24,557 on Workplace Risks and Resolution 905/15 of the Ministry of Labor make it mandatory to have a first aid medical bay in any establishment with more than 25 workers. ARTs require compliance with these requirements as a condition for authorizing mining, oil & gas and construction projects.
In remote areas — high mountains in San Juan and Mendoza, Vaca Muerta plateaus, isolated areas of Patagonia — the response time to an accident is critical. A well-equipped first aid room can be decisive for the worker's survival while specialized medical assistance arrives.
Our medical bay modules are designed with the specific layout to accommodate a stretcher, a stainless steel sink, a supplies cabinet and the necessary outlets for medical equipment. They comply with the construction conditions required by current regulations.

We advise on the documentation needed to authorize the space as a medical bay before the relevant authorities.
WE DELIVER
NATIONWIDE
We coordinate delivery of medical bay modules to all industrial hubs in Argentina. In remote high-altitude areas (San Juan, Mendoza) and Patagonia (Vaca Muerta, southern basin), the medical bay module is especially critical given the response time of external medical services.
