Abstract
in English, French

When a paramedic embarks on the process of providing health care, he or she starts a long and difficult journey of professional and personal growth. The high level of complexity and responsibility inherent in the coordinated operation of rescue services while securing and carrying out activities and measures related to the provision of emergency care brings many unforeseen situations. By analyzing the risks of paramedic work, this paper seeks to identify the extent of necessary protective measures with the potential of increasing the safety of the profession.

La complexité et la responsabilité de l’organisation des soins amènent à se confronter à des difficultés imprévues. En passant en revue les risques encourus par les soignants, cet article a pour but d’identifier les mesures de protection permettant de les limiter.
