What this lesson covers

In this lesson, you'll learn to: evaluate and select a permit space rescue service, apply the retrieval system requirements, state the over-water equipment and fall rescue rules, and size underground rescue teams. Designating rescue brings five duties. Evaluate whether a rescuer can respond in a timely manner, given the hazards. Evaluate proficiency with tasks and equipment for your particular permit spaces.
