Introduction to precautions and safety equipment for summer outdoor development training

Precautions and safety equipment for outdoor development training in summer

The weather in summer is hot and you need to wear less clothing. You must pay attention to safety when carrying out outdoor development training. Let’s take a look at outdoor development. What are the precautions for training?

Notes:

1. Pay attention to sun protection

During summer expansion training, the sun is quite strong, so be sure to pay attention to sun protection. The sun is scorching hot in summer, and the ultraviolet rays in the sun are particularly strong. Exposure of skin to the scorching sun for a long time can cause 1-2 degree burns and heatstroke.

Countermeasures: In hot weather, you should try to avoid being directly under the scorching sun. At the same time, you should wear a sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, towel, long-sleeved tops, and bring Ten Dishui, Rendan, Huohua. Heatstroke prevention medicines such as Xiangzhengqi pills and cooling oil.

2. Replenish water in a timely manner

In summer, there is a lot of outdoor expansion training and you sweat a lot. You must replenish water in a timely manner. However, if you drink water in the wrong way, it will cause adverse consequences. When drinking water, be sure not to drink it all in one go. Drinking a lot of water during and after exercise will increase the burden on the blood circulation system, digestive system, especially the heart, and cause more fatigue. Countermeasures: Drink small amounts often, only take a few sips of water each time, drink water more frequently, and do not rely on the feeling of thirst as a basis for replenishing water.

3. Prevent fever

When participating in outdoor expansion training in summer, due to the high temperature and heavy exercise, the heat in the body accumulates more than it dissipates. If you do not pay attention to prevention, you will It is easy to get fever.

Countermeasures: To help dissipate body temperature, soak your hat with water when walking in the sun; remove your hat when walking in places where the sun does not shine; try to put your backpack away when taking a rest Come down and unbutton the collar of your shirt.

4. Do not take cold baths

When you are sweating profusely while marching in summer, if there are mountain springs, streams, ponds, etc., or passing by the seaside, you must not covet them. As soon as it feels cool, jump in and take a cold bath. Even after the activity is over, you should wait for your body temperature to drop before taking a cold shower after arriving at your destination.

5. Personal clothing:

(1) Shoes: Sports shoes, travel shoes or river-tracing shoes must be worn. Leather shoes, foam sandals or other footwear with heels are prohibited. If you go rafting the next day, your shoes will definitely get wet, so please bring spare shoes if necessary.

(2) Dress requirements: The weather outside is hot. It is best to wear outdoor quick-drying clothes during daytime activities. If not, you should try your best to choose ones that are impervious to moisture, lighter, looser, and easier to dry. Clothes and pants; tight jeans are not recommended. Please be careful to bring at least two sets of clothing.

Commonly used safety equipment for outdoor development

When carrying out outdoor development training activities, the outdoor safety equipment used by students must pass UIAA (International Mountaineering Federation standards) and CE (European standards) Certification. In addition, all equipment users involved in the expansion training process must undergo equipment use training from the National Mountaineering Association.

1. Safety helmet

Professional training on high-altitude protection. Safety equipment includes: climbing helmet, static rope, dynamic rope, auxiliary rope, webbing, descender, quick hook, formed webbing, safety protection rope (main rope), main lock, steel lock, safety belt, ascender/ Safety equipment such as descenders, lock protection equipment, standard descenders (figure 8 rings), quick hooks, lanyards, pulleys, etc.

2. Flat belt (flat belt)

Used to connect fixed points or soft connections during project operation. According to different connection methods, it is divided into two categories: manual knotting (Runner) and mechanical sewing (Sling).

3. Safety belt (harness)

Provides a comfortable and safe fixation for personnel and protectors operating high-altitude projects, and is conveniently connected to the protective rope, which can protect the falling person. The impact force is dispersed to the waist and legs, not just concentrated on the waist. According to different connection methods, they are divided into seated safety belts and full body safety belts.

4. Carabiner (carabiner)

Used to connect ropes and protection points, safety belts and protection/descending devices, carrying equipment, etc. The iron ropes are rigidly connected in the protection system.

5. Belay/rappel devices (belay/rappel devices)

During the protection and descent process, the friction between it and the rope reduces the grip strength required by the operator. . Commonly used descenders include figure-8 rings and ATC.

6. Ascender (ascender)

It plays the role of borrowing force and protection during the climbing process. It is divided into left and right styles to adapt to different hand habits

7. Helmet (helmat)

Protect the head during project operations to avoid head injuries.

8. Rise device (Rise device)

There are several types such as 8-shaped ring, STOP and GRIGRI, which are used for high-altitude operations, protection, rescue, etc., and can withstand a pressure of not less than 25KN .
