Accident Prevention - ATTENTION IN REVISION 2023/2024

ATTENTION IN REVISION 2023/2024

To help prevent incidents and accidents in the mountains, it is highly recommended to follow these principles:

• Seek appropriate training

• Use relevant decision-making tools/checklists

• Prior to departure plan alternatives to your main objective

• Constantly re-evaluate conditions and adapt decisions as necessary

• Establish an open communication culture within the group

  Whereas these principles are equally valid for organized mountain rescue, refer to all ICAR recommendations for specific topics of mountain rescue.
