To successfully complete this lesson of this module, course participants must be able to:
1) Explain how to assess and determine evacuation strategy during a rescue operation, attending to a clear and preferred evacuation route for the injured person outside or inside the tower. (L2 – Knowledge) 2) Demonstrate how to apply rescue methods and techniques in performing descending rescue operations, from a WTG to a primary assembly area (ground or transition piece) and a secondary assembly area (vessel), using a rescue stretcher and transfer board, lowering/raising rescue system (rescue device, pulley system or similar), as a single rescuer. (L3 – Skill) 3) Demonstrate how to Package an injured person on a rescue stretcher and transfer board in a vertical or horizontal configuration to enable safe transportation, by doing regular checks, using rescue equipment such as cervical collar and avoiding head down configuration of the unconscious injured person (L3 – Skill) 4) Demonstrate how to manually transport an injured person on a rescue stretcher and on a transfer board - in a balanced way.
