NFPA 1006 Chapter 5.1
It can be used by field personnel with a framework in which to work and allows them to match the the framework to the actual incident
Pre Plan
Span of control maximum
5 is typical 7 is maximum
Developed in 1996 by the USCG as a systematic way to evaluate and manage risk
ORM operational Resource management
For a type 1 Helicopter a landing zone and a safety circle should have these dimensions
30 x 30 feet and 110 foot diameter
The two primary concerns in rigging a PCD are:
The device grabs the rope if needed, and the device does not ride up the rope as the load is moved
Rescue teams can improve there efficiency and safety by adopting what?
Established procedures
This ICS position should be present at every geographical location where hazardous activities are taking place
ISO
The ability to know what is going on around us
Situational Awareness
US federal aviation regulation
Title 14 of the CFR
Condition that limits the venous return to the right side of the heart from the legs
Suspension trauma
The LAST pneumonic
Locate, access, stabilize, transport
What ICS position is not typically activated until an incident exceeds a single operations period
Planning
When an operation has concluded you must conduct one immediately
Hot Debrief
An adjustable litter tie in has 2 elements
Fixed length safety line made of 8mm or 9mm cordage, Adjustable tie in of 7mm cordage
The MBS of a component in relation to the expected load of the system
CLR
Mandated by HSPD-5
ICS and its use
The SUDOT pneumonic
Stop, Up, Down, OFF, Trouble
Will be conducted days after an incident to determine if the incident was safe, effective, and efficient
AAR
Is the use of two sets of rigging teams and brake teams to alternate the rigging of anchors and the operation of the brake
Leap frogging
At 0 degrees the force placed on the anchor or COD is likely how much more than the actual load
2 times
Is tasked with the development of the IAP
IC
Risk Management is comprised of 5 steps
Situational Awareness, Hazard assessment, Hazard control, decision point, Evaluation
EGPWS is a form of TAWS that is designed to avoid a particular type of incident
CFIT controlled flight into terrain
should always be connected to a safe and secure anchor system that is, if possible, separate from the anchor system supporting the hauling system
PCD
The LRH has two primary purposes
Acts as a shock absorber, and allows for force transfer in the system in the event the bely is loaded
