Rescue skills must be practiced..

There is no substitute for training and practice. This video shows a practice rescue at height with basic equipment, The use of basic skills is many times forgotten with the possession of other tools which may or may not be needed for the unfolding incident.

The use of “other” equipment has its place; but with a solid knowledge of basic and direct rescue skills the rescuer can complete the rescue without major changes in a rescue system.

Create a plan, execute the plan, re evaluate as you proceed with the rescue, any changes can be made during the evolution without changing the pace of the rescue evolution.
