Abstract

Goal. Development of methods for studying the impact of dangerous and harmful factors on the mountain rescuer during search and rescue operations at low ambient temperatures. Method. The article presents the results of the study according to the methods of Euro standards, namely: experiments, theoretical analysis. Results. The article examines in detail the problem of protection of mountain rescue workers during search and rescue operations in mountainous areas, which is characterized by limited transport accessibility, and proposes methodological principles for studying the impact of low temperatures on the functional state of rescue workers. A certain algorithm for conducting a study of the level of protection of mountain rescuers is proposed and the need to standardize the time of search and rescue operations for effective work and minimal damage to the health of the mountain rescue service. Scientific novelty. The article for the first time uses the method of determining the degree of influence of low temperatures on the human body, in particular on the functional state of a mountain rescue worker, taking into account the level of his protection by electroencephalogram (EEG). Practical significance. The recommended method will ensure the formation of requirements for the regulations of all search and rescue operations by mountain rescue workers in areas with rugged terrain and relative elevations of 500 m and more within a radius of 25 km, and areas above 900 m and above sea level. Accordingly, the implementation of the proposed requirements of the regulation will ensure the rationing of the time of work of varying degrees of load at low temperatures that affect the human body.
