FIRST AID

All North Slope employees with Lounsbury and Associates will attend First Aid training as classes are available. However, it may be that not all members of a crew will have up-to-date First Aid and CPR cards. All crews will have at least one member who is current with his or her First Aid training.

For basic First Aid, always be aware of the dangers of frostbite and take precautions to prevent it. Proper clothing will help reduce the risk of frostbite and can be found in the Riding/Apparel section.

Frostbite is the Number One danger while riding with a snowmachine in the Arctic. Prompt treatment for frostbite is imperative and requires that the injured employee get to a warm location as soon as possible.

A First Aid kit should always be with you on your trip. The kit should be included in your emergency kit found in the Before You Ride/Emergency Kit section.
