About This Course
The AOSH UK Level 3 Award in Emergency Rescue from Confined Space is designed for individuals tasked with the critical role of rescuer. In environments where oxygen deficiency, toxic fumes, or physical entrapment are risks, a standard response is insufficient. This course bridges the gap between basic entry knowledge and specialized extraction expertise, ensuring that rescue teams can operate without becoming victims themselves.
Participants will explore the complexities of "High Risk" environments where a specified hazard is present. The curriculum covers the legalities of rescue, the physiology of confined space risks, and the technical maintenance of rescue kits. By the end of the session, learners will possess the confidence to lead a team through a high-stakes recovery operation efficiently.
Risk Assessment Mastery: Evaluate hazards before initiating rescue.
Emergency Planning Roles: Define clear duties for the rescue team.
Advanced Breathing Units: Expert use of self-contained apparatuses.
Casualty Handling Skills: Safe extraction of unconscious persons.
Atmospheric Monitoring: Constant tracking of gas and oxygen levels.
Communication Protocols: Robust signals for dark or noisy spaces.
