General SCCSSAR Rope Rescue System Standard Operating Guidelines
Course Description:
This course is designed to teach members of the SCCSSAR Type 1 team and members of the full team the organization’s standard operating protocols for high and low angle rope rescue. All members of the SCCSSAR community are welcome to attend to gain familiarity with the systems. Attendees will learn the “standard” raising and lowering systems used by the team, how to use the available equipment, and will build and operate the systems. Attendees will practice the systems until they are second nature, developing muscle memory in system construction and operation. Because this class is intended for SCCSSAR members, people from the greater rigging community will probably find this class less than entirely useful...
Prerequisite Skills:
None. Attendees should have attended the team academy where they learned basic high angle rescue skills.
Equipment Needed:
Personal protective equipment (helmet, gloves, and harness) is mandatory. Attendees will probably also appreciate having knee pads as well.
