Fall Arrest - Rescue Training
Every second counts after a fall when a worker is suspended and fellow operatives on the scene need to react quickly.
In intense, stressful and life threatening situations many individuals will suffer an onset of panic after the initial adrenaline rush.
A panicked state damages the thought processes and the affected person will be unable to make logical or considered decisions.
This puts both the casualty and the rescuer at risk as the panic can interfere with the rescue operation.
In fact, the number of people who are killed or injured as a result of trying to help a colleague or friend who has fallen from height almost exceeds the number of original casualties.
This combined fall arrest rescue group of courses and covers:
* Casualty raising - Haul System
* Casualty lowering - Descent System
* Raising and Lowering - Winch System
* Low height rescue - Low Height System
When it really matters, you need to be competent and confident to carry out rescue and you can only really achieve this through live direct training.
Course contentOur specially developed fall arrest training course will give candidates the real skills, knowledge and confidence to carry out a rescue operation in a safe and efficient way.
These skills will have a dramatic impact on the prevention of death and injury for all concerned.
Trained personnel will be able to handle the rescue of both conscious and unconscious casualties quickly to minimise suspension trauma issues.
They will also be able to carry out the rescue with the appropriate hazard awareness for both themselves and the casualty necessary for a fast and safe rescue operation.
As this is a comined course covering the four rescue systems the course has been specially designed not to duplicate content, but to deliver fresh, vibrant content in a way that is easy to remember.
Each course has both a classroom (theory) and a practical element.
Our course follows a specially developed logical process, giving weight only to the things that are directly relevant and specific to the actual working environment and scope of activity, available access and equipment suitability.
Delegates will be able to handle the rescue of both conscious and unconscious casualties within a very short time frame and demonstrate appropriate hazard awareness for both themselves and the casualty necessary for a fast and safe rescue operation.
Theory
Phase 1 of the course begins in the classroom, covering the theoretical issues around the subject as a whole, from basic legal outline and duties, through to equipment selection, recovery techniques and information on the signs, symptoms and effects of Suspension Trauma.
Delegates will also learn the importance of after-care for the situation, so that the casualty receives the correct care whilst waiting for emergency services to arrive on scene.
Practical
The strength of the course lies in the practical element. We actually simulate rescue operations where operatives will be working so the training is directly relevant to the working environment, making it specific, focused and effective.
Delegates are given the opportunity carry out live practice using the different rescue methods in a safe and controlled environment under the supervision of the instructor.
Delegates will be engaged using both conscious and unconscious casualties systems, selecting the appropriate method based on rescue requirements and working as very small group, as an individual, or as part of a bigger team, and will then be given the opportunity carry out live practice using these different systems in a safe and controlled environment under the supervision of the instructor.
We incorporate rescue techniques that reinforced skills, preventing skill fade and confusion caused by anxiety given the potentially stressful situation.
Delegates may use a rescue dummy if preferred
We understand how important safety is in any work place environment and the difference professional and effective training makes to a rescue operation. This is why we highlight personal safety at all time throughout the training course and keep site disruption to a minimum whilst candidates are taking the course.
