AHCARB209 - Assist with aerial rescue from the ground

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to assist with an aerial rescue where an injured person is in a tree or on an elevated work platform (EWP).Aerial rescue is likely to be undertaken in emergency situations and involves close, effective team-work to ensure the safety of all personnel and the public during a rescue or the management of an aerial casualty.The unit applies to ground based workers who undertake defined activities with specialised tools and methods, work in structured and changing contexts, apply knowledge and skills to demonstrate autonomy and limited judgement, and provide solutions to a limited range of predictable problems. Work is implemented with low risk work procedures and to comply with Safe Work Method Statement documentation.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.
