Rescue

Rescue types:
The following rescue techniques will be used in a hierarchy approach with self rescue being the first choice.
Fall Restraint rescue:

In a in a total fall restraint system you cannot fall therefore rescue will not require work at heights. Follow standard injury/ first aid procedures. Before finishing, consider if there is any potential for you to be suspended by your fall protection system - if there is, then you will need rescue planning.

Administrative controls - rescue:

Administrative controls do not allow a worker to get within 6.5' of a fall hazard. Rescue will be standard injury/ first aid procedures.

Before finishing, consider if there is any potential for a rescuer to need to use rope rescue or DOP rescue to get you to the ambulance (consider ladders and less accessible areas) - if there is, then you will need rescue planning.
