Hypothermia. Say it out loud and it’s an unpleasant sounding word. But it has a simple meaning. It’s when the core of your body drops to abnormally low body temperatures and if it goes too low and for too long eventually your heart can stop.

Le choix d’un Équipement individuel de flottaison (EIF), est issu du résultat de l’analyse des risques entre l’élément aquatique, le support de travail et la tâche à effectuer. L’EIF doit permettre de protéger la personne qui tombe à l’eau, en maintenant ses voies respiratoires hors de l’eau et en facilitant son repérage de jour comme de nuit et d’assurer son retournement si elle est inconsciente. Les EIF peuvent être à flottabilité permanente de 50N, 100N, 150N ou à flottabilité gonflable […]
