Oman: Military Exercises
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has taken recent steps to protect troops deployed on Exercise Desert Khanjar from heat illness.
- Answer
-
As high temperatures were expected for Exercise Desert Khanjar, the Army applied Defence-wide health and safety risk management policies from the outset.
This included (but was not limited to) all personnel undertaking mandatory heat injury prevention training to ensure awareness at all levels and undergoing a full period of acclimatisation on arrival in Oman.
All activities are regularly reviewed and, where necessary, adapted to ensure training objectives are still achieved safely.
