Cribbing Rescue Training for CERT/Search & Rescue Team

When attempting to rescue victims trapped under heavy non-structural items, you should always use rescue cribbing for stabilizing the outside corners while lifting the object from the middle using the fulcrum and lever provided with this set. This mechanical advantage lifting technique keeps everyone safe. Always use Cribbing during lifting for victim and rescuer safety.

The Cribbing set consists of routered and sanded wood in the form of a 4′ lever, fulcrum, 28 12″ 2×4’s and 4 12″ wedges.

On a 24 in crib I was always taught 4 inch over hang each side. Smallest over hang ever heard was 2inches each side.

I understand the concept. Without wood blocks at hand, then what? Any demonstration using debris left after an earthquake, for example?

You could improve this video by keeping the camera focused on the action rather than the instructor.
