C U Communicate Undertake Operation • Conduct team briefing (GSMEAC) before deploying. • Contact Coastguard/SurfCom/Police before launching. • Conduct radio checks before deployment and file trip report (TR) with Coastguard, stating: o Call sign o Number of persons on board o Intentions o Expected return time • Handover and liaise with other services using the ISBAR communication tool. • Communicate frequently throughout the incident. • Provide updates to SLSNZ staff when able. • Apply a Dynamic Risk Assessment (ORA) for each lifeguard or patrol support which considers whether they are mentally able, as well as physically able, enough to participate in a body recovery. • Ensure all team equipped with correct PPE for the task and environment. • Consider requesting a modified task or refusing the task if requested task exceeds team’s capabilities or safety concerns. • Document all details of the crew responding out to sea and pass to Police and SurfCom. • Request additional support if required early with Police (e.g., Coast Guard) • Conduct radio checks before deployment. • Develop a Comms plan by assigning call signs to each craft before deploying. • Conduct the recovery within limits of the team’s skill, experience and abilities. • Record operational details (times, places searched, etc.). NOTE: this record may be used as evidence. • Conduct recovery in conjunction with Police and other services. • File Situation Reports (SITREPS) frequently, especially when conditions change. • If you were not tasked to the recovery by Police, inform them of the incident immediately or as soon as practically possible. • Notify SurfCom or the relevant Duty Officer, staff member and SAR Squad if required. • Create a plan for carrying out the recovery including any other agencies present (e.g., Police), including assessment of the conditions, resources available and appropriate personnel to be involved. This plan may include: - declining to undertake the body recovery - if you do not have sufficient resources to undertake the recovery - experience to undertake the required task, or NSOP BODY RECOVERY NSOP_FINAL 116
- it is deemed unsafe to do so. All attempts should be made to minimise exposure to the body recovery to SLS personnel. This includes excluding under 18 members from the incident, and only using as many members are required for the task, limiting exposure of excess personnel to the incident. If the recovery is occurring during patrol hours, normal patrolling activities must be taken into account before undertaking the task. If the recovery is occurring on land: • Don elbow length rubber gloves, as well as a face mask, eye protection and a disposable apron/overalls if available and appropriate. • Do not interfere or move the body unless instructed to by Police. The only exception to this is if the body and/or scene is going to be immediately disturbed by the immediate environment, e.g., incoming tide, in which case, move the body as little as required to secure the scene. • Use tarpaulins, sheets or other coverings to shield the scene from the public – taking into account the privacy and wishes of any friends or family members present. • If the body is required to be moved, open a body bag on the ground next to the body, and roll or lift the body into the bag. • Transport body to a secure place to wait for the Police/coroner’s representative. If the recovery is occurring at sea: • Ensure appropriate resources and qualified personnel are able to respond. If necessary, this must take into account the crew’s ability to lift a body from the water into an IRB. • If Police request to be involved with the on-water response, evaluation of their water competency and compliance with SLSNZ’s IRB and RWC policies is required. • Don full length wetsuit and rubber gloves, as well as elbow length rubber gloves and a face mask if available and appropriate. PPE may be carried on the IRB for on-water journey and donned when location is reached. • Crew should take a full body recovery kit with them. • On arrival at the body’s location, crews should try and take note of the condition and location the body is in, including any items on surrounding land/rocks. This information can be passed on to Police. • Physical water recovery will be dependent on the surf conditions, and condition of the body. • If surf conditions are appropriate, the body bag can be opened and zipped around the body while it is in the water. • When a bag is being lifted from the water, zips at the feet should be left open enough for water to run out of the bag.
