Students will need a good pair of workīoots, leather gloves, and eye protection. There will be some classroom time to discuss principles and regulationsĪs they relate to confined space operations. If you have questions about the prerequisites, please contact FSTS RegionalĬourse Delivery: Confined Space Rescue is a hands-on course with all portions of the class occurring Prerequisites: Previous experience/training in rope systems, mechanical advantage, and high angle Techniques that may be required during a confined space rescue incident. Candidate explains how to build a rescue system using a two-rope system and when it is appropriate to do so.įor additional details on testing and criteria, download the APP Rope Rescue Testing Criteria PDF document, and refer to the additional references to the right.Course Objective: The Confined Space Rescue course is designed to provide the student with hands onĮxperience in the areas of hazard assessment, air monitoring, rope systems, and rescue.Candidate explains how to add more mechanical advantage to a system and substitute mechanical devices for simple methods (rope, carabiner, hitches, etc…).Candidate demonstrates a 3:1 haul system and can add appropriate progress capture.” This demonstration should use a toboggan as weight and demonstrate raise (haul) and lower.

Candidate demonstrates lowering, raising, and escaping a belay.A candidate should be prepared to build anchors using 1,2, and 3 anchor points that are strong enough to lower a rescuer, retrieve a guest and haul (or assist) the pair back to the belay point. Candidate sets up and properly equalizes multiple anchors (based on site and equipment available).A candidate should understand the different equipment used, parameters for use, and alternatives based on industry standards. Candidates will be asked to explain the rope rescue program at their mountain.A candidate will be asked to set up and explain multiple anchors, hauling, and lowering simulations in a low angle environment. This Test is intended to test a candidate’s ability to operate as part of a ski patrol rope rescue team.
