 LESSON MANUSCRIPT
(RESCUE METHODS AND TECHNIQUE)

Methods and Techniques

Low Angle. Refers to an environment in which the load is predominately supported

by itself and not the rope rescue system (e.g., flat land or mild sloping surface).

Below grade. most often in some sort of confined space

High Angle. An environment in which the load is predominately supported by the rope rescue
system.
Tag line offset – offer a means of offsetting the mainline and belay line

by the use of a hand line that is operated below the rescue package.

Should be used only when minor obstacles need to be overcome, or minor adjustments need
to be made in the fall line.

Guiding line offset:

An offset used to change the mainline and belay line by the use of an adjustable rope that runs
through a pulley and tether attached to the rescue package at the yoke.

Guiding line is controlled at the bottom.

Deflected offset – is useful in adjusting the main line
and the belay line from above rescue package, or in
some cases, from across a gap or chasm.

It may be imparted at any time deemed necessary during

the rescue operation. This type of offset is best suited for
smaller gaps, the wider the gap, the more potential
failure.

Tracking line can offset the main line and belay line by
the use of adjustable rope that runs through a pulley
attached to the rescue package at the yoke.

The tracking line may be positioned and operated

separately from the main portion of th rescue operation.

It receives medium tension because of this, it must be

anchored at both ends, it can not be hand held.
Highline System. A system of using rope suspended between two points for movement of
persons or equipment, including systems capable of movement between points of equal or
unequal height.

Victim Under Rescue

System Safety Check.

A method involving three components that evaluates the safe assembly of a rescue system—

* physical check / touch system

* load test
* audible or visual confirmation
