GROUND EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL
(a) The task of training large numbers of emergency service personnel is formidable. Wherever possible, helicopter operators should afford every assistance to those persons responsible for training emergency service personnel in HEMS support. This can be achieved by various means, such as, but not limited to, the production of flyers, publication of relevant information on the operator’s web site and provision of extracts from the operations manual.
(b) The elements that should be covered include:
(1) two-way radio communication procedures with helicopters;
(2) the selection of suitable HEMS operating sites for HEMS flights;
(3) the physical danger areas of helicopters;
(4) crowd control in respect of helicopter operations; and
(5) the evacuation of helicopter occupants following an on-site helicopter accident.
