Undertake Vertical Rescue

This course provides participants with the skills and knowledge required to undertake vertical rescues in a range of emergency situations in both natural and manmade environments. It is aimed at those working in emergency response roles in any industry where vertical rescues may be required.

As a participant on this course, you will be introduced to various items of software and hardware that you will then need to utilise to perform various tasks on rope, suspended and at ground level. Participants will be required to wear a rescue harness and utilise equipment to ascend and descend ropes on their own up to a height of approximately 10 meters. While the shown techniques will assist in accomplishing these tasks the participant will be required to shift and hold their own body weight relying on arm, leg, and core strength to do so.

Participants are also required to conduct a mid-pitch rescue using specialized equipment and the above-mentioned muscle groups to release a fallen casualty and bring them safely to the ground. Participants will be required to build and operate mechanical advantage systems and act as part of a haulage team that will be lifting rescuers and casualties (at times simultaneously) at a height of approximately 6 meters.
