USAR Operations: Urban Search and Rescue Operations (ProGuide)

By D. Ashford-Smith

- Default Title
Description
Used by thousands of rescuers across the world, ProGuides set the standard for high-quality, clearly-presented information in a compact and rugged format. The Second Edition of Proguide USAR Operations has been fully revised with the latest 2016 INSARAG search and assessment protocols, improved graphics and additional checklists. We have expanded the hot cutting section with unique guidance on directed falls, plus important information on safe work at height during shoring construction, and we have refreshed the casualty care pages to include the most popular mnemonics. Each A6-size coil-bound ProGuide is printed on 100% waterproof paper, which can be repeatedly soaked, washed, scrubbed and disinfected without damage. Unlike many other 'waterproof' notebooks, ProGuide paper is produced from polymer film - it can be written on, is resistant to tearing, and will not stick together even after months in a damp pocket. Our unique printing technology creates crystal-clear text and graphics that won't scratch or peel away, no matter how much you try. USAR Operations contains 110 pages - not forgetting our unique transparent protractor and ruler on the back cover - and over 150 diagrams, with everything a rescuer needs to know from initial searching and safety briefings to step-by-step timber shoring and hot cutting techniques. We cover pulley systems and loads for lifting and moving, confined space access and all the essential tips and tricks, resource lists and data tables you need. Down to the very last nail, every diagram is fully compliant with UK and international standards and is designed to be crystal-clear to understand, even in the dark and the pouring rain. Urban Search and Rescue is a hazardous multi-skill activity conducted in extreme environments. This is not a 'teach-yourself' guide. It is designed for in-field use by fully qualified professional rescue team members and is not a substitute for formal instruction and regular practice.
