Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Mountains are a common asset which is used by thousands of tourists each year, both in summer and winter. The joy of using the beauty of the mountains, unfortunately, is intertwined with accidents in a different areas, time and place. In such a constellation The Mountain Rescue Service has aspecial role, where one of the main statutory duties is to help people in danger to health or life in the mountains. The level of preparation and training of lifeguards is in this sense crucial. Most rescuers of The Mountain Rescue Service were the first to reach the injured or missing. Their skills and effectiveness are, at the first phase of the case before transmission to a doctor, crucial. Organizing regular training sessions, workshops and tutorials can maintain an appropriate level of preparedness of rescue in an emergency to act quickly and effectively. In this process, however, the most important group is a team of instructors. They are the main pillar of security. The level of preparation of rescuers is a derivative of knowledge, experience and skills of instructors. Training programs prepared by them form the substantive and physical preparation of lifeguards. Therefore, the main objective of the project is to optimize training methods through international training and exchange of experience in this field. The project consists of 56 instructors of The Mountain Rescue Service, who, during the six trainings during the winter and summer time, will have the opportunity to learn about the equipment and training methods in partner institutions in Austria (Tyrol Bergrettung), Germany (Bergwacht Berchtesgaden) and Romania (Bihor Salvaspeo Salvamont). This training will cover such themes as longwall rescue, cave rescue, avalanche rescue or rescue from the air using a helicopter. One of the most important results of this project may be improving the training methods based on the long-standing international experience in mountain rescue. This will be beneficial not only for rescuers taking part in training and rescue operations, but also, and perhaps above all to people who may be involved in an unfortunate accident in the mountainous terrain and will need prompt and effective help.
