sharp edges, dirt, contaminates, lose parts and deformaties
- Rope deployed from the anchor point to the ground should be deployed: -
-So only the amount needed is with a dynamic anchor
- Helmets used for rope rescue should be: - -Lighter in weight
- Rope gloves shall be - -Sturdy formfitting gloves with a leather palm
- T/F: Fall protection (travel restraint) at the edge shall be long enough for
the edge attendant to go over the edge and no farther - -False
- A class one harness is designed to stop rescuer when he: - -Reaches the
edge
- T/F: Class two harnesses are designed for 600 lb loads and will not keep
the rescuer in an up-right position if they become unconscious. - -True
- Class three harnesses are: - -Designed to keep the rescuer or victim in an
up-right position
- T/F: A person that falls in a harness and is suspended and unable to stand
on a solid surface should lift their legs into a sitting position and avoid
moving. - -True
- T/F: When working in a harness with free mobility a person should keep
your legs moving as much as possible - -True
- T/F: A person that falls and is trapped and unable to lift their legs should
squeeze their legs legs every 5 seconds until help arrives - -True
- The 1st medical consideration for a victim in a class three harness that
falls and becomes unconscious is: - -Airway patency
- When a person is rescued from harness suspension they should be: - -
Assessed, ABC's, immobilization and transported in a sitting position
, - All harness construction and testing standards are covered in NFPA: - -
1983
- T/F: Personnel at a rescue scene whether they are workers, IC, safety
officer all have the ability to call a stop during rope rescue operations if they
see an unsafe operation - -True

- Kernmantle construction consists of a: - -continuous core of fibers
- Major factors affecting rope strength include: - -History, diameter, type of
construction and material used
- Rope with a 20 kN T rating (old L rating) are designed with a minimum
tensile strength of: - -4496 lbf
- Rope with a G rating of 8992 lbf has a kN rating of: - -40
- The qualities of good knots, bends and hitches are: - -Determined by the
ease of tying and untying after loading
