Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
In a typical scenario, a person would facilitate the safe loading and unloading of personnel and cargo prior to or at the conclusion of a helicopter operation. With the occurrence of an emergency landing or aborted take-off the person would provide essential rescue and containment services.
Key aspects of the competence include:
making correct judgements about the course of action to be followed
focusing on the rescue and subsequent safety of personnel involved
reducing the hazards applicable to the site
containment or neutralising of any hazardous substances.
The individual may:
look for and rescue casualties
contain any fire or neutralise any hazardous substances
render the incident site safe following the incident
Generally the person would undertake initial actions of their own accord as an incident team member, however during an incident response they would respond to the incident team leader. At all times they would be cooperating with other members of the incident response team.
This unit applies to people operating in support of helicopter operations at a remote location or specialised helideck landing facility. In the event of an incident the person would undertake a front line role in rescue operations and damage control.
