Project Description
Why attend
In natural or technological disasters, people could be trapped in the wreckage of their homes or places of work. Many of them could die unless rescued quickly. Although specialized dog teams and sophisticated listening devices are available to help search for trapped people, the bulk of rescue work is done by local first responders: fire, ambulance, and police personnel, who are trained and certified. The first responders are often assisted by the general public; but it takes more than just willing hands to save lives. Untrained, unorganized people may endanger themselves and those they are trying to rescue.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Understand the principles of rescuing and the Planning for Rescue-Related Disasters.
Analyse a range of the operational considerations and incident command issues that are influenced by technical demands associated with: Safe Working at Height, First Response and Rope Rescue – Water rescue – Confined space – Casualty management -Wide area search..
Examine the principal equipment selection issues and standards including the appropriate legislative frameworks and approved codes of practice.
Demonstrate understanding of the physical environment relating to specialist rescue and the limitations this may present.
Who should attend
This course is ideal for either for Emergency Services personnel who are or may be involved in the management of search incidents or new employees who may, in the course of their normal duties, be called upon to take up a position in their company’s emergency response organisation. Alternatively, the course would suit anyone within the company who wishes to understand the principles of rescue activities.
