Fingertip ‘tracks’ and limit of search
Image 2. Here you can see the tracks of the fingertip search. Whether or not gloves should be worn is a key consideration
The searcher is using a systematic pattern in Image 2 working from right to left. They are keeping their head and torso in a cleared area at all times. The searcher is wearing protective gloves due to the risk of sharp objects such as broken glass. This means that they should practice the technique under the conditions in which it will be conducted and be confident that the gloves will not hinder the effectiveness of the search due to a lack of dexterity. The operational threat assessment will be key to determining whether gloves can or cannot be worn.
