Planning and Procedures
This document includes elements like authority, problem statement, and resources needed.
What is a Preplan form?
This gas, one of the five most common in confined spaces, is an intense poison when inhaled.
What is Carbon Monoxide?
This short spine immobilizer features a full body harness to help secure the victim.
What is the Spec Pak Patient Extrication System?
This is a common method for securing a victim’s head on a short spine immobilizer.
What are Velcro straps?
Confusion, chills, and a body core temperature between 99.5°F and 101.3°F are signs of this condition.
What is Heat Stroke?
These two factors have a significant effect on the stability of trench walls.
What are surcharge loads and vibration?
When monitoring, finding this specific content is the #1 priority.
What is Oxygen content?
Supplied Air Respirators (SAR) contain a harness, face mask, and regulator, but never this.
What is PVC Tubing?
This short spine immobilizer allows rescuers to bend the patient at the hip to turn.
What is the Half-Sked Patient Drag?
This psychological hazard is brought into a confined space by the individual and is mainly up to them to control.
What is Claustrophobia?
Incident management personnel and decision-makers form this group to plan for resource needs.
What is a Unified Command?
In a stratified atmosphere, you should test the envelope at this distance in the direction of travel.
What is 4 feet?
This device is a short cervical spine board that is incorporated directly into a harness.
What is the LSP Half Back Extrication/Lift Harness?
This specific extrication system comes with a full body harness to help secure victims.
What is the Spec Pak Patient Extrication System?
This communication method does not require line of sight and can travel long distances through structures.
What is Rapping/Tapping?
These types of hazards identified in a preplan are associated with structural and physical conditions.
What are Physical hazards?
This type of tubing should never be placed directly into a potentially hazardous material.
What is Air Monitoring tubing?
Rebreathers are designed for up to this many hours of use.
What is 4 hours?
This is the correct method for moving a victim onto a long spine immobilizer with minimum spinal manipulation.
What is log rolling the victim with a partner and sliding the board under?
The decon team should decontaminate personnel or equipment at this frequency as they leave a space.
What is As necessary?
This specific team must be in place in many jurisdictions before responders make entry into a hazard.
What is a Back up team?
This question helps identify hazards by asking about industries that routinely perform maintenance.
What is "Are there any locations, industries, etc., that routinely perform confined space entry..."?
This short spine equipment is flexible enough to allow rescuers to bend the patient at the hip to turn.
What is the Half-Sked Patient Drag?
This equipment is described as a short cervical spine board that is incorporated directly into a harness.
What is the LSP Half Back Extrication/Lift Harness?
Identifying industries that "routinely perform confined space entry for maintenance" helps a jurisdiction do this.
