This unit of competency involved the skills and knowledge required to gain access to and extricate casualties from complex transport, such as trains, trams, light aircraft, and self-propelled heavy plant, whilst minimising the potential for further injury and preserving the integrity of evidence.

The unit requires the responder to access casualties using a range of techniques and to operate specialist equipment. It is applicable to personnel working in a rescue team.

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