c.
correct behaviour on ladder with PPE
Engage and practise how to safely and correctly use a rescue device in the following scenarios:
a. rescue of a conscious casualty hanging by a guided type vertical fall arrester, secured by their work positioning lanyard (inside of the ladder) with the rescue equipment in a passive setup, preferably utilising a rope clamp for rescue
b. rescue of an unconscious casualty hanging by a fall arrest lanyard (inside of the ladder) with the rescue equipment in an active setup
c. rescue of a conscious casualty secured by their work positioning lanyard attached to the front attachment point of their harness (from the outside of the ladder)
The participants shall at all times during the exercises practice how to reduce the risk of dropped objects
Note
During exercise 16.3.6.a. The participant performing the rescue should use a rope clamp for rescue (to train in the use of this equipment) and use the hip overhang technique to move the casualty away from the ladder
During the rescue scenarios the participants who are not performing the exercise shall be in a safe area (at ground level) where they can familiarise themselves with setting up rescue equipment, rigging and operating the equipment for a rescue
Note
It is recommended to have the participants familiarise themselves with the rescue equipment while one rescue exercise is conducted and observe one rescue exercise
During the rescue scenarios the participants acting as rescuer must correctly use their work positioning lanyard to secure themselves leaving their hands free to work with the equipment and casualty
During the rescue scenarios, a rescue dummy can be used to simulate a casualty
The instructor will notify the participants whether the casualty is conscious or unconscious. Participants may demonstrate the recovery position/seated position once the dummy has been lowered to a safe area
All appropriate PPE shall be worn during these exercises
Methods of preventing suspension trauma should be demonstrated during the practical exercises, as they will have already been discussed in theory. This will facilitate good, small group discussions on the various methods of preventing suspension trauma
