This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to gain access to and extricate casualties from a range of industrial or domestic incidents whilst minimising the potential for further injury and preserving the integrity of evidence.

An industrial rescue involves the safe removal of persons who have had an accident in a workplace such as a factory, warehouse or building site. It involves disentanglement from machinery and extrication from heavy machinery; rescue of occupants trapped in elevators and escalators is included.

Domestic rescues involve the rescue of occupants trapped in household settings. This includes such things as children with fingers stuck in drain plug holes and persons who are physically incapable of removing themselves from their house due to ill health.

The unit requires a responder to access casualties using a range of techniques and to operate rescue equipment. It is applicable to members of a rescue team.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions may be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
