Synopsis

FIRST EDITION - there is a newer edition of this book available: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0956078435 This Urban Search & Rescue field reference book is designed for the European market. 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. The latest printing technology creates crystal-clear text and graphics that won't scratch or peel away, no matter how much you try. USAR Operations contains over 100 pages, with everything a team member 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 reminders for equipment capacities, casualty assessment and list of resources you can call upon. 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.
