Team Lead Primary and secondary rescue and communications
33
procedures for transiting on ice
reacess GAR walk slowly distributing your weight as much possible caution be aware of cracks, openings and tripping hazards stop to look up. your always tethered and never alone.
34
when transiting as a team
spread out 10 to 15ft

WHAT IS THE GO TECHNIQUE
The “Go” technique is any procedure used when the rescuer has to physically “go” to the survivor and manually effect the rescue. able to assist
44
what are the three conditions of the self rescue
conscious and able to assist conscious and unable to assist unconscious
45
What is reach
Use this technique when survivor is close to the rescuer allows survivor to hold onto reach object
46
After recovering a survivor from the ice, the team leader determines the most efficient means of transport to emergency medical services or shoreside.
 Available conveyances.  Condition of survivor (urgency).  Availability of medical equipment/capabilities.  Distance to travel to shoreside.  Transit conditions on ice (i.e., ice ridges, deep snow, etc.)  Air support.
47
During survivor transport:
 Continue treatment.  Maintain communication throughout transit.  Instruct the survivor to remain lying down to maintain a safe position.  Monitor survivor during transit.
