Control measure

Control measure knowledge

Strategic actions

Fire and rescue services should:

Ensure that information about equipment that generates extreme cold and how to isolate it is included in SSRI

Tactical actions

Incident commanders should:

Liaise with the responsible person for information about equipment that generates extreme cold and the isolation procedures
Consider isolating the source of extreme cold
Consider avoiding the area affected by extreme cold
Ensure personnel wear PPE appropriate for working in extreme cold
Closely supervise personnel and implement appropriate crew rotation for those working in affected areas
Monitor personnel for the effects of hypothermia
Consider tactical ventilation to increase the temperature
