RESCUE FROM CRAWL SPACE
200 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 participants to rescue an injured person from a crawl space to a location where first aid can be administered.
After having successfully completed this lesson, the participants can:
76) Act independently to apply the techniques to successfully rescue the injured person from the crawl space, in a controlled manner (Ability, intermediate level) 77) Take initiative to assess and determine rescue strategy (relevant rescue method, technique, certified equipment, and required personnel) in a crawl space scenario (Ability, intermediate level)
