ALL Rescue / Re: rope rescue equipment
« on: October 23, 2006, 06:57:26 PM »
the ses runs 3 full weekend coarses in relation to vertical rescue. the first being vertical access of which members are introduced to the various vertical rescue equipment and are tought the limitations (swl) and usage of equipment. They also learn how to set up various anchorage, desend and assend a 11mm single rescue rope.
the second phase is called vertical technician. with the use of the larkin frame and the three building block approach the rescuer will be taught the technique of performing a sling rescue to a un injured casualty stuck on a cliff or from a height. the rescuers are taught to set up the load line which is the main line off the cliff to the casualty and brake line and haul line which are bolt on rigs for a lifting operation if required.
phase three is similar to phase two in that you use the same system in the larkin frame with lowering and lifting except the rescuer will recover a injured casualty from a cliff or height with the use of a basket stretcher. some additional specialised anchorage systems and 1 on 1 rescues are also taught.
the ses uses a very safe vertical rescue system and the training given by the state instructors is excellent.
