3.17.4 Personal Hygiene1) Bathe as frequently as conditions permit, daily is normal.2) Keep hair cut and beard shaved or clipped close. Long hair or a beard add very littleinsulation value. In the open, a beard serves as a base for ice build-up and will maskthe appearance of frostbite.3) Since shaving with a blade and soap removes protective face oils, it should be doneseveral hours before exposure to cold in order to allow for replacement of natural oilsthat reduce the danger of frostbite. Shave at night after work rather than in themorning.4) Electric razors are preferable since they do not remove protective oils.5) Brush your teeth daily.6) Take advantage of toilet facilities in base camp before you leave for the field.3.17.5 Adequate Shelter1) Take full advantage of the base camp shelter in order to avoid unnecessaryexposure.2) Where necessary improvise shelter in accordance with techniques covered in yourtraining programs.3) You cannot stay in the open for long periods unless you are moving. You shouldknow how to protect yourself from the effects of cold weather.Page 60 of 136
3.17.6 Ice Safety1) The ice thickness should be tested before any workers or vehicles are allowed on theice.2) WEAR an approved life jacket, or preferably, an approved survival suit when testingice thickness.3) STAY approximately 10 m. (33 ft.) apart. The lead member should wear a safetyharness attached to a 1 cm (3/8 in.) thick and about 20 m (65 ft.) long polypropylenerescue rope held by trailing crewmembers.4) Test ice regularly for repeated work or travel over ice to ensure continued safety.5) SAFE ICE THICKNESS.a) Clear blue ice is the strongest. White opaque ice is the least dense, weaker thanclear blue ice. Gray ice indicates the presence of water from thawing and isunsafe as a load-bearing surface. Saline, sea ice needs to be thicker than freshwater ice. As a general rule 30% thicker is acceptable.b) Ice thickness is determined by the full thickness of clear blue ice plus half thethickness of white continuously frozen ice.c) TEST holes should be cut according to local procedures.3.17.7 FrostbiteFrostbite is characterized by:1) Sensation of coldness followed by numbness.2) Tingling, stinging, aching, or a cramping pain.3) Initial redness followed by pale gray or waxy skin appearance.To review preventative measures:1) Wear sufficient clothing, including face, ear, eye, head, nose, hand, and footprotection.2) Avoid tight clothing and tight hand footwear that could interfere with blood circulation.3) Exercise face, fingers and toes. Massage the ears to keep them warm and to detectany numb or hard areas.4) Use the buddy system to detect signs of frostbite.Frostbite may be either superficial (involving only the skin) or deep (extending below theskin). If exposure time was very short, the frostbite is probably superficial. Otherwise,assume that the injury is deep and, therefore, serious. If freezing is believed to be deep,do not attempt to treat it in the field. Get the patient to a hospital or aid station by thefastest means possible.Treatment for superficial frostbite in the field:1) Cover cheeks with warm hands until pain returns.2) Place uncovered frostbitten fingers under the opposing armpit next to the skin.Page 61 of 136
