How do you use a whistle in (emergency) situations?

 Sending out a sound of signals for communication in cases where there is no direct line of sight or when background noise prevents other communication.

RECOMMENDED COMMUNICATION CODE:
the whistles must be made energetic and keep enough separation between them.

  • A whistle: indicates STOP.
    Stop the maneuver we're doing.
  • Two whistles: indicate LI-BRE.
    Free rope
  • Three whistles: Indicate DES-CEN-DER
    Needed to untie the rope for the abseiler that means lowering it into the base or member that is blocked.
  • Four whistles: indicates RE-CU-PE-RER.
    It is necessary to reel in the rope from above because of excess rope which can cause problems at the end of the abseil.

Depending on the activities, other and/or additional arrangements can be made within the group.
It is always important that there are clear agreements before the activity is started.
