Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to the operation of winching equipment capable of extracting a range of vehicles and equipment. Winching may be necessary to extract vehicles and equipment which have become bogged or broken down and due to terrain or environmental factors, cannot be extracted by other means.
Typically, winching operations are conducted by individuals acting independently or in charge of a small team, isolated from assistance or supervision.
This unit covers the competency required to assess equipment and vehicles requiring recovery and to employ suitable winching techniques and procedures to extricate casualties utilising specialist recovery vehicles equipped with motorised winching equipment.
