Rope Rescue 1 is designed to teach students the theories and knowledge of rope rescue to the NFPA 1006 standard.
It includes classroom and practical field exercises. Students advance from over the bank rescues to progressively more difficult vertical scenarios.
Students are trained in pre-planning and size up of rope rescue operations: knots, hitches and anchor systems; belay operations; ascending and descending; raising and lowering systems; and patient packaging and litter tending.
Special emphasis is placed on safety considerations for rescuers, victims and bystanders.
There are two certification options available for this course based on applicant prerequisites.
