Personal Protection
• A human body loses 25 times more heat when immersed in water, than in air of the same temperature.
![Page 6: PERSONAL SAFETY SAR Crew Manual Chapter 02](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167dd550346895ddd3aaa/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Personal Protection

Personal Protection
• In preparing to go out on a mission it is essential that all crew are properly prepared:
1. for a long and cold mission2. for anything that might go wrong on the
mission
![Page 8: PERSONAL SAFETY SAR Crew Manual Chapter 02](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167dd550346895ddd3aaa/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Personal Protection
• If a mission turns out to be a long hard run to the last known position, and the crew are cold and exhausted when they reach that position they will be ineffective as a rescue resource.
![Page 9: PERSONAL SAFETY SAR Crew Manual Chapter 02](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167dd550346895ddd3aaa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Personal Protection
• If a mission goes wrong, and something unexpected happens to the rescue vessel, each crew member must be properly prepared for that emergency.
![Page 10: PERSONAL SAFETY SAR Crew Manual Chapter 02](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167dd550346895ddd3aaa/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Personal Protection
• The run out to the casualty may well be made in adverse conditions, with low temperatures, a head wind, (and associated wind chill), sea and swell, in rain or snow, or spray over the vessel.
![Page 11: PERSONAL SAFETY SAR Crew Manual Chapter 02](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167dd550346895ddd3aaa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Personal Protection
• If you have forgotten to wear a toque under you helmet and your head gets cold, it will not be long before you are not going to be contributing much to the operation.
• The same goes for the lack of any other gear.
![Page 12: PERSONAL SAFETY SAR Crew Manual Chapter 02](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167dd550346895ddd3aaa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Personal Protection
• To increase your chances of survival in cold water
Wear gear that fits youWear gear that fits the weatherWear gear that fits the mission

Flotation
![Page 15: PERSONAL SAFETY SAR Crew Manual Chapter 02](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167dd550346895ddd3aaa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Flotation
![Page 16: PERSONAL SAFETY SAR Crew Manual Chapter 02](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167dd550346895ddd3aaa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Flotation
• A personal flotation device or lifejacket must be worn at all times by all crew in an open vessel, or when on the deck of a larger vessel.
• This personal flotation device must stay on the wearer in a 25 knot impact with the water.
![Page 17: PERSONAL SAFETY SAR Crew Manual Chapter 02](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167dd550346895ddd3aaa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Flotation
• A cruiser suit or anti exposure suit or flotation suit generally offer at least 15 pounds of positive buoyancy, and they satisfy this requirement, but reference is to be made to the approval labels in the suit.
• A dry suit generally does not fulfil this requirement, and will require wearing a PFD.
![Page 18: PERSONAL SAFETY SAR Crew Manual Chapter 02](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167dd550346895ddd3aaa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Flotation
• Some equipment vests are fitted with their own buoyancy and are therefore worn to provide the extra buoyancy to offset the weight of all the extra kit that may be carried.
![Page 19: PERSONAL SAFETY SAR Crew Manual Chapter 02](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167dd550346895ddd3aaa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Flotation
• Extra lifejackets are to be carried in case survivors brought on board require them.
• For suits, see slides on Protection

Heat Loss
• Once the SAR crew is properly dressed the principal heat loss will be through:
1. the head, face and neck2. the hands

Thermal Underwear
• A layer of good polypropylene, or higher grade of thermal underwear, will be of benefit in any prolonged operations out on the water in cold conditions.
• Try to avoid any cotton next to the skin.

the water
