Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to perform an aerial rescue where an injured or unconscious person is safely brought to the ground from a tree or elevated work platform (EWP).The unit applies to Arborists preparing and planning for the coordination and execution of rescue operations and the implementation of safety and first aid requirements.Aerial rescue is likely to be undertaken in emergency situations with little or no supervision. It involves working closely with other members of a team to ensure the safety of all personnel and the public during a rescue operation. This unit applies to individuals who have a range of skills to select and apply a specialised range of methods, tools, materials and information to complete routine activities and provide and transmit solutions to predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.Licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit in some states and territories at the time of publication, and may differ according to jurisdiction. Specific determination should be sought through the relevant State or Territory. Works involving this unit of competency may be subject to local tree protection and preservation laws, and the relevant content of applicable Australian Standards. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Assessment must be demonstrated consistently over time in a suitable range of contexts and have a productivity-based outcome. No single assessment event or report is sufficient to achieve competency in this unit. Assessment may be conducted in a simulated or real work environment, however determination of competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. The mandatory equipment and materials used to gather evidence for assessment include: equipment: rescue kit rescue dummy emergency communication system rigging equipment single rope technique (SRT) climbing kit static and dynamic rope kit harnesses lowering and friction devices high decibel whistle personal protective equipment (PPE) first aid and emergency kit traffic management kit signage – work zone trees materials: rescue form - aerial hazard identification and risk control form equipment and PPE check form emergency preparation form knot identification form work communications form work site operations form Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs in the assessment of arboriculture units of competency.
