If one of your partners is caught [in an avalanche], you need to act quickly and positively. Your actions over the next several minutes may mean the difference between life and death for your friend. Warning! Before you do anything, you need to make sure the area is not threatened by other slide paths, and, if so, you may decide to post a watchman and coordinate an escape plan. 2, record 2, English, - avalanche%20guard

The term "watchman" normally applies to burglary insurance and refers to a private watchman on duty during the hours when the premises are not open for business. It should be noted that the duties of a watchman are not those of a guard; he is, indeed, employed to "watch" and to report any untoward occurrence. 1, record 5, English, - watchman

Le terme «veilleur», tel qu'employé en assurance cambriolage, signifie un veilleur privé qui se trouve en service lorsque le local de l'Assuré n'est pas ouvert pour affaires. On doit noter que les fonctions d'un veilleur ne sont pas celles d'un garde; il est, en effet, engagé pour «surveiller» et doit rapporter tout événement fâcheux. 1, record 5, French, - veilleur
