• One SHORT whistle blast signals an incoming car

• One LONG whistle blast signals danger; leave the road immediately

• Take care not to confuse motorists and be conscious of your torch beam

• Front and rear team members should be aware of safety for the entire team

• Ensure that the team is spaced tight enough that there is NOT enough room for motorists to pull in between you

• Change the team at regular intervals in safe locations

• Report any safety concerns immediately

This would be a standard team setup for a group of five; this would ideally never be smaller than a group of four in this context

Front - Lookout and using red or white light

Second - Searcher

Third - Searcher

Fourth - Searcher

Rear - Lookout and using red or white light

Team members should never divert from their specific tasking

• Remember the change to red and white light positions depending on the carriageway and your direction of search

• Emulate how a vehicle would be travelling in the same direction on that carriageway

• If going with the flow of traffic, the red light should be at the rear and the white light should be at the front

• If going against the flow of traffic, the red light should be at the front and the white light should be at the rear
