ELEMENT 10.1 - RESCUE FROM ENCLOSED SPACE – EXERCISES
Learning objectives:
90) The participants can perform how to apply rescue methods and techniques in descending and ascending rescue operations, from a WTG, using a rescue stretcher and transfer board, lowering/raising rescue system (rescue device, pulley system or similar) (Skills: intermediate level) 91) The participants can perform how to fit a harness or improvised harness by the use of a rescue sling around the injured person's chest, and other PPE (e.g. apply rescue head support, fit helmet, safety glasses etc.) onto an injured person, in an enclosed space (Skills, intermediate level)
92) The participants can explain the identification and suitable selection of certified and structural anchor points, for relevant enclosed space scenarios (Knowledge, intermediate level)
93) The participants can explain and perform the proper utilisation of a specific lowering/raising rescue system, incl. how to properly attach, rig and secure the system, and requirements, applications, limitations, and the maximum raising distance possible for the system (Skills, intermediate level)
94) The participants can explain how to apply the concept of lifting angle, angle factor and deviation (Knowledge, intermediate level)
95) The participants can explain how to identify and control common risks of hazardous energies and common hazards of enclosed space areas in a WTG, when performing rescue operations (Knowledge, 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
Note
The improvised harness must only be used as a means of extricating an injured person from an enclosed space horizontally
An improvised harness must never be used for lifting or lowering an injured person
96) The participants can evaluate how they select the suitable attachment point on the injured person and/or transfer board/rescue stretcher, e.g. harness front or back attachment point and in the top or bottom of the transfer board/rescue stretcher (Skills, advanced level)
An injured person must always be attached to an approved attachment point
Note
97) The participants can perform the rescue operation from the incident scene fully aware of where the injured person is stuck and how to slowly lower/raise the injured person and carefully manipulate them out, constantly evaluating the rescue efforts (Skills, intermediate level)
