To successfully complete this lesson of the module, course participants must be able to:

1) Demonstrate how to apply the techniques to successfully rescue the injured person from the crawl space, in a controlled manner. (L3 – Skill) 2) Explain how to assess and determine rescue strategy (relevant rescue method, technique, certified equipment, and required personnel) in a crawl space scenario. (L2 – Knowledge) 3) Explain and demonstrate the identification and suitable selection of certified and structural anchor points, for relevant crawl space scenarios. (L3 – Skill) 4) Explain and demonstrate the proper utilization of a specific lowering/raising rescue system, incl. how to properly attach, rig and secure the system, and requirements, applications, limitations, and the maximum raising distance possible for the system. (L3 – Skill) 5) Explain and demonstrate how to apply the concept of lifting angle, angle factor and deviation. (L3 – Skill) 6) Explain how to identify and control common risks of hazardous energies and common hazards of crawl space areas in a WTG, when performing rescue operations. (L2 – Knowledge) 7) Demonstrate how to apply rescue methods and techniques in performing a rescue operation, from a crawl space, covering efforts with and without rescue equipment to ensure the most optimum result. (L3 – Skill) 8) Demonstrate how to prepare the injured person for safe transportation, by doing regular checks, using rescue equipment such as rescue head support and avoiding head down configuration of the unconscious injured person. (L3 – Skill) 9) Demonstrate how to fit a harness or improvised harness by the use of a rescue sling around the injured person's chest, and other PPE (e.g., helmet, safety glasses) onto an injured person, in a crawl space. (L3 – Skill) Note: The use of a rescue sling as an improvised harness is only to be used in an enclosed space where it is not possible to fit a full body harness on an injured person. The improvised harness must only be used as a means of extricating an injured person from an enclosed space horizontally. An improvised harness must never be used for lifting or lowering an injured person. 10) Explain how to determine and demonstrate how to select the suitable attachment point on the injured person and/or transfer board/rescue stretcher, i.e., harness front or back attachment point and in the top or bottom of the transfer board/rescue stretcher. (L3 – Skill)

Note:

An injured person must always be attached to an approved attachment point
