For high angle work the use of a ______.
There are many brands of ________
The AHJ should ___________ correct answers descent control device is the preferred and safest
method.
descent control devices available on the market. make the final decision as to what type of device
is best suited for operations in their jurisdiction.
Although techniques like ______ and _______ are available to the rescuers, they are primarily
recommended for use in the low angle environment only. ___________ correct answers arm
rappels, body rappels They require continuous training or they can do more harm than good for
the rescuers.
The AHJ should make the determination which is most effective for the incident. what models
are used by the AHJ. correct answers
Class I harness: correct answers has been deleted from NFPA 1983.
Class II harness: correct answers a harness that fastens around the waist and around thighs or
under buttocks and is designed for rescue with a design load of 2.67 kN (600 lbf)
Class III harness: correct answers A harness that fastens around the waist, around thighs or under
buttocks, and over shoulders and is designed for rescue with a design load of 2.67 kN (600 lbf).
It is designed for rescue operations where the potential for inversion may occur.
,constructing a modified Class II seat harness, also known as a correct answers Swiss seat.
Using a 12' piece of webbing, attach the two ends with a water knot soured with an overhand
safety knot on each side to form a loop.
Pass the loop behind the legs and buttocks.
Reach between the legs and bring the webbing under the section that is around the waist and
dress it down snugly.
how to tie a chest harness. correct answers Take a 12' piece of webbing; attach the two ends with
a water knot secured with an overhand safety knot on each side to form a loop.
Form a twist in the webbing, creating a figure eight in the loop.
Slip the rescuers arms through the ends of the figure-of-eight so that the crossover point rests in
the middle of the rescuer's upper back.
Connect the ends of the chest hitch with a locking carabiner.
Connect the chest harness to the seat harness using two carabiners between a short webbing
tether creating a modified Class III harness.
the advantages and disadvantages of using conventional figure-of-eight descenders. correct
answers The figure-of-eight is molded to form a large ring stacked on top of a small ring
constructed from aluminum or steel.
The larger ring creates friction on the rope and the smaller ring is attached to a seat harness
carabiner.
Drawbacks include large rope won't thread through the smaller designs. Ropes can slip over the
large ring causing a girth hitch.
As a drawback the Rescue 8 descender twists the rope.
The rabbit ear design allows for extra friction to be applied and the ears prevent the formation of
a girth hitch across the larger ring.
the acronym SUDRH as a suggestion for communicating with fellow rescuers using a whistle
during a raising or lowering operation. correct answers S - STOP (1 short blast).
U - UP (2 short blasts).
, D - DOWN (3 short blast).
R - ROPE FREE (4 short blasts).
H - HELP (continued long blast).
A ___ may be a good alternative as long as questions to the victim are short and concise,
requiring the victim to answer only yes or no.
The victim may _______ or use a _______ correct answers bullhorn, answer, pre- arranged
response signal using 1 arm lift or 1 flashlight click for YES and 2 arm lifts or 2 flashlight clicks
for NO.
Pulleys have two types of bearings: correct answers bronze bushings, and ball bearings.
Pulleys: Bronze bushings are correct answers very strong and can be accessed for cleaning.
They are less expensive.
Pulleys: Bronze bushings disadvantage: correct answers they can be contaminated by dirt and
grit.
Pulleys: Ball bearings turn correct answers more freely than bronze bushings.
Pulleys: Some Ball bearings come as correct answers sealed units preventing dirt and grit
contamination.
Pulleys: Ball bearings disadvantage: correct answers do not take sudden blows as well as bronze
bushings.
Prerequisites for certification: correct answers EMT, 1st Responder, or EMC/FFI.
