Emergency Management and First Aid (2 days)
In the mountains, minor accidents can quickly become serious situations. In an emergency, quick and thoughtful action is crucial. Our course “Emergency Management and First Aid” prepares you thoroughly to act swiftly and correctly in the event of an accident or emergency in the mountains. The unique challenges posed by difficult conditions and inaccessible terrain make solid knowledge and targeted preparation essential.
You will learn how to stay calm during an emergency, assess the situation, and take effective first measures. Another essential component of emergency management is placing an emergency call correctly. You will learn how to call for help in remote mountain areas, the proper positioning of injured persons, basic rescue measures, and the best emergency equipment for your next tour.
