20) The participants can perform how to apply rescue methods and techniques in performing descending and ascending rescue operations, from a WTG, using a rescue stretcher and transfer board, lowering/raising rescue system (rescue device, pulley system or similar) (Skill, intermediate level) 21) The participants can perform fitting a harness or improvised harness by the use of a rescue sling around the injured person's chest, and other PPE (e.g. apply rescue head support, fit helmet, safety glasses etc.) onto an injured person, in an enclosed space (Skill, intermediate level)
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 extracting an injured person from an enclosed space horizontally. An improvised harness must never be used for lifting or lowering an injured person.
