Rope Rescue 1 & 2

This is a 7 day or 70 hour class and is a combination of both Rope Rescue 1 and Rope Rescue 2 classes. This class will be taught in consecutive days.  By offering this combined class we can reduce the amount of time and money spent for training.

This 3-day AHD course will build upon your existing knowledge by applying your skills to design and set-up portable high directionals on different platforms. The course can be customized to the type of equipment the customer may already use.  Typically, we can train on the CMC Arizona Vortex, the SMC TerrAdaptor Portable Anchor System, and the Eyolf Pythagoras Tripod.

 

Incorporating High Directional systems is an integral part of efficient and effective rope rigging knowledge.  This course will be focused on the design, setup, use, and physics behind each configuration. It will allow students to better understand the resultants and force vectors within the framework of their rigging system.

COURSE INCLUDES:

• Tripod, Bipod and Monopod Rigging Systems

• Anchor Selection and Load Sharing Anchors

• Types of Rescue Equipment Needed for AHD

• Inspection, Care and Maintenance of the Rescue Equipment

• Rigging Theory and Concepts

• Advanced Rigging Systems

• Analysis of Applied Force of Guy Angles & Compression Loads

• Guided Line Systems

• Tracking Line Systems

• Hauling & Lowering Systems

• Reave setups (English and Norwegian)

There has been a notable rise in tree services in America, especially in the South. With the up-tick in services, there is an increase in climbing arborists– which should signal the fire service that there is an increase in rescue potential.

It is the goal of this 2-day awareness course to familiarize the Rescuer with the following:

• Tree care hazards and mitigation

• Common and safe practice for both climbing and rigging

• Various climbing and rigging systems

• Injured/ non-responsive climber extrication methods and techniques

It is the hope of this course to inspire the Rescuer to either pursue additional training with more specific rescue applications and techniques, and/or seek resources and knowledge to supply the rescuer’s departments and leadership.

This 2-day Introduction to Rope Access course is a valuable tool to provide new rope technicians basic rope skills.  Rope Access is a method of working at height, typically using synthetic fiber kernmantle ropes and associated specialized equipment, used to gain access to, be supported at, and as a means of egress from a place of work.

It is a viable means of achieving 100% fall protection as program requirements, the system of work applied by competent technicians, and component and element requirements are adequately met.

Rope access techniques are becoming more well known and relevant for various industries including, but not limited to:

• Building maintenance/window washing

• Non-destructive testing and maintenance

• Engineering

• Off-shore petrochemical/wind energy

• Tactical and military access

• Geotech and scientific

• Maritime

• Entertainment and stunt rigging

In addition to these aerial industries the modern rescuer should see the benefit of personal mobility on rope. This allows the rescuer to maneuver themselves into and out-of-positions that a rescue team simply cannot accomplish with the same speed and accuracy.
