This course aims to provide participants with the skills and knowledge to perform rescue operations and controlled descent escape from an EWP.

The target learners for this instance of course delivery are employees currently working within the Australian Electricity Supply Industry required to work in an EWP. This includes employees of network asset owners, contractors and sub-contractors in electricity Generation, Transmission and Distribution.

Those who work on the network must maintain currency of skills and competency in a range of safety and technical competencies. Relevant safety related training programs are often mandated by regulation or industry agreements and documented in state codes of practice.

Most learners will be licensed and trade qualified or hold a Certificate in a related technical discipline. In addition to trade qualifications, the learner groups will have completed a range of electrical and plant safety related training programs related to the roles they hold.

Due to the significant safety risks in the industry these employees work within highly proceduralised workplaces with mature workplace safety systems.

Workers in the industry are required to regularly complete workplace safety risk assessment and work planning documentation, and therefore bring a solid foundational understanding of risk assessment and workplace safety documentation concepts and practices to the program.

Delivery includes:

• Trainer led classroom presentations
• Theory assessment
• Onsite practical exercises and assessment

On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:

• Perform rescue procedures from an EWP in the work place.
• Cover the performance of EWP controlled descent escape procedures in the work place
• Deliver mandatory requirements of rescue from a raised EWP by a work party member on the ground and how they apply in the context of transmission, distribution or rail work functions
• Cover responsibilities for, health, safety and risk management processes at all operative levels and adherence to safety practices as part of the normal way of doing work
