RESCUE FROM CRAWL SPACE

50 min. There are several locations on the turbine were occasionally work needs to take place with strongly reduced vertical space, such as in a transformer room, behind a generator or underneath a gearbox, main bearing or under the floor. The aim of this lesson is to enable the Course Participants to rescue an injured person from a crawl space to a location were first aid can be administered, as a single rescuer.

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) Demonstrate how to assess and determine rescue strategy (relevant rescue method, technique, certified equipment, and required personnel) in a crawl space scenario. (L3 – Skill) 3) 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.
