c. Correct behaviour on ladder with PPE
Demonstrate the ability to safely and correctly use a rescue device in the following scenarios:
a. Rescue of a conscious casualty hanging by a guided type vertical fall arrester, secured by their work positioning lanyard (inside of the ladder) with the rescue equipment in a passive setup, preferably utilising a rope clamp for rescue b. Rescue of an unconscious casualty hanging by a fall arrest lanyard (inside of the ladder) with the rescue equipment in an active setup c. Rescue of a conscious casualty secured by their work positioning lanyard attached to the front attachment point of their harness (from the outside of the ladder)
Note:
The participants shall at all times during the exercises demonstrate the ability to reduce the risk of dropped objects.
During exercise 19.3.3.c. The participant performing the rescue should use a rope clamp for rescue (to train the use of this equipment) and use the hip overhang technique to move the casualty away from the ladder.
Formal assessment of knowledge (see Section 13.7)
Lesson 19 Notes
During the rescue scenarios the participants who are not performing the exercise shall be in a safe area (at ground level) where they can familiarise themselves with setting up rescue equipment, rigging and operating the equipment for a rescue. It is recommended to have the participants familiarise themselves with the rescue equipment whilst one rescue exercise is conducted and observe one rescue exercise. During the rescue scenarios the participant acting as rescuer must correctly use their work positioning lanyard to secure themselves leaving their hands free to work with the equipment and casualty.
During the rescue scenarios, a rescue dummy can be used to simulate a casualty.
The instructor will notify the participant whether the casualty is conscious or unconscious. Participants may demonstrate the recovery position/seated position once the dummy has been lowered to a safe area.
All appropriate PPE shall be worn during these exercises.
Methods of preventing suspension trauma should be demonstrated during the practical exercises, as they will have already been discussed in theory. This will facilitate good small group discussions on the various methods of preventing suspension trauma.
