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.
