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:
83) Act independently to apply the techniques to successfully rescue the injured person from the crawl space, in a controlled manner (Ability, intermediate level)
84) 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)
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
Note

Note
It is recommended to use a rescue dummy as the injured person.
Note
Each exercise includes: rescue strategy planning, rescue efforts and instructor led evaluation.
