GWO Advanced Rescue Training Standard / V4 2023-05-02
Demonstrate how to attach and rig the system and how to secure the rope
Explain the requirements, applications, and limitations of the system
Explain the system's maximum raising distance possible
Explain the principles of lifting angle, angle factor, deviation, and edge protection
Demonstrate how to use a rescue device to prepare and rig a tensioned line (zip line) in both a single line and double line configuration in a nacelle (in accordance with manufacturer’s user manual) and transport for horizontal transportation Show examples of (and explain ways to) combine, rescue equipment and PPE lanyards to achieve an efficient rigging setup with the equipment available and a minimum of re-rigging during the rescue operation. Stress the generic approach to teaching the use of rescue equipment focusing on the similarities and differences in design, functionality and operation between different products and associated accessories Explain the potential task placed upon the participants (on course completion) requiring them to familiarise themselves with other rescue equipment products in their own organisations
Provide constructive feedback on the participants’ performance during the practice
Note
The above to be based on the manufacturer's user manual
The participants shall:
Understand the pre/use inspection process. Take part in a discussion on the proper utilisation of a specific lowering/raising rescue system the requirements, applications, and limitations of the system, the system's maximum raising distance possible and the principles of the lifting angle, angle factor, deviation, and edge protection Practise a pre-use inspection of the pulley system and rescue device (and their accessories) required / chosen to instruct in this module covering the characteristics and principles of the following:
a.
markings and labels
b.
equipment is within the period of formal inspections
