<h2>Available equipment</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Expo maintains one big top camp first aid kit, which is in a big grey peli case however it is not designed/intended to go
|
|
underground. Plateau falls are actually the biggest risk on expo -
|
|
the limestone is sharp and sometimes slippery, the rucksacks are
|
|
enormous and heavy. Small personal kits for underground use are also a
|
|
good idea, as is a bivi bag or bothy in case of getting stuck for any
|
|
reason (as it's damn cold).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are two mini-rescue first aid kits in a yellow and an orange peli case. One should be kept at the stone bridge bivy site and the other either at base camp or at any secondary camps. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is a first response grab bag containing a brew kit and a bovy shelter, as well as a hauling bag containing the necessary stuff to haul people</p>
|
|
<p>There is also a stretcher, which should contain a neck collar and googles.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>At base camp is more first aid stuff for both replenishment and other
|
|
injuries.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Training</h2>
|
|
|
|
There is a caving first aid training session help each year before
|
|
expo. Here are the <a href="1st_aid_caving_style.pdf">slides from a recent course</a> (written by Cat Hulse) which provide a lot of good info.
