Rescue Drill (Confined Space)

A rescue drill conducted at a well known Barossa Winery in August, 2013 after completing Confined Space, SCBA & Rescue training with MSS Safety

Good work, you proved not only victim's life is important but also rescuers safety. the bitter fact is more than 50% victims are rescuers in real time scenarios of confined space emergencies. fast is fine but hurry may kill you.

Good demo. Few items that I noted. No helmet. This is a must for any rescue. Get Petzl Vertex helmets that have chin straps and don't fall off. Good use of two winches one a s primary and other as secondary. The SKED needs to be used with both head and leg straps and not as shown here. If doing vertical lift you need to use the rope supplied. SKED can be pre-rigged outside of rescue by other personal. Good quick response.

I did like the video, it had a few issues, already mentioned, and for most of us watching we understand if someone were in the victims position they would probably have already bled out. I think that as part of the operation of this rescue scenario the rescuer's could have provided first aid to stop the fictitious bleeding, there was no communication with the victim in this incident, regardless of whether this individual is conscious positive outcome scenarios, should have been verbalized in the operation. The area where the retrieval system was set up was a little to busy, while the rescuer's are in motion whoever might be the top man should definitely be taking up the slack in their safety lines, and the are where they first reached the victim, they moved the ladder out of the way but not far enough which could have caused an injury to the rescuer. Pre-planning of this event should have included the rescuers establishing where they would be moving during this scenario so they would cross safety lines and end up tripping over each other. This is a good tool that I will use when addressing confined space rescue operations and pre-planning. Thank you to the makers of the video.

I reckon the casualty died, A real Rescue team would have already had Harnesses on and BA powered up, entered confined space with Airline ( Assuming bad atmosphere) yet NO escape set for casualty so basically you just performed a body recovery

Thanks for sharing. Valid positive points listed. However, also noticed no gloves, no goggles, safety line was connected to the same anchor point. Also the stretcher lift could have been horizontal with an extra sling given there is no restricted egress vertically. Any equipment can be used in an emergency but more dedicated rescue kit would have been preferable. A safety ling would have been nice considering risk to patient. Helmets for rescue crew a must to prevent rescuer injury, and dedicated rope rescue helmets (such as Petzl) can be worn with Breathing Apparatus. Rope extrication was a little rushed and not controlled. Possible need to get medic to patient given lack of responsiveness lol. Good communication between crew. Good rescue strategy.

what makes confined space rescues very difficult from Other emergency rescues is the time limit, very less time is required to rescue someone trapped Inside a confined space , it was a good attempt we can more in.subsequent videos

They could work on their radio communication, and response time.

Thanks for sharing, the rescuers must wear safety helmets.

If your crew is on SCBA extraction should take less than 5 min unless the victim can be placed on supplied air.

i kept waiting for them to get out the giant drill to do the rescue before i realized i'd misunderstood the title

[bourquinolivier]

all good, but missing the helmet on rescue team

[Firefightertab]

No helmet
No gloves
No safety life line
No stretcher gide line

Good team work and executed the task safely. However, I understand that they are doing drill but without PPE? They  rescuer went in without the gloves and helmet. What if he gets his head injury while banging against the structure?

[abbyabbyabbyable]

The wash water pouring down on the guys made this exercise tougher, Must have felt miserable !  
Good work guys .

[pavankumar-zziq]

Improper usage of PPE's such as chin strap, no hand gloves, harness not hooked up in some scenes.

[marcustaylor]

No Assessment of patient condition, injuries. Suspected # to legs initially. Full body compression onto injuries when lifted vertically. I appreciate moving the patient if time critical but this was not established to begin with. Also in this space KED and collar could have been used. No C-spine protection when moving patient. Again dependent on patient condition which is why rapid primary and secondary survey paramount

[gouravpatri]

What is the black colour rope is it a supply for breathing apparatus for rescuers

[SuperRobbo]

Good work!! You could improve more though.. Took a little to long.. As for the comment about being a recovery your wrong and you need to go back into the classroom no offence.. You always don in fresh air and you never have BA on until ure at the entry and have had your pressure checked with your ECO and that's both rescuers going in

[misterbulger]

Appreciate the video guys... Anybody have any good resources for engulfment procedures for the United States?

Why wasn't a real patient used? Using a dummy is not heavy enough. There is no way two people would be able to move or carry a patient normally.
