DurationMSA’s Confined Space Basic Rope Rigging and Rescue class is designed to teach CS rescue team members the basics of rope theory and use.
The predominantly hands-on class begins by covering basic topics fundamental to later training evolutions such as the concepts of utilizing pulleys and rope to create mechanical advantage and system knots that will be utilized in constructing a “Z-Rig” haul system.
Once the basics are covered, students will have the construction of a haul system demonstrated for them and then will be asked to participate in a re-creation.
The class terminates in a practice evolution where the students are given a scenario of a downed worker inside a confined space and asked to perform a rope rescue utilizing the tools and techniques that have been demonstrated to them throughout the day.
The 1-day course is comprised of the following:
Standard-required rescue training / practice requirements and implications for entry rescues
Considerations for building, equipping, and training a rescue team for hazardous entries to meet ANSI Z117.1–2009 procedural specifications
Building for mechanical advantage:
Rescue Anchorages
Tripod
Finding other "Height Advantage"
Water knot and "Wrap 3, Pull 2"
Carabiner Options
Moving vs. Non-Moving Parts
2:1 & 4:1 “Simple” Mechanical Advantage Systems
Basic Rescue Rope Requirements
Rope sizing for haul lines
Backups and ancillary systems
Rope inspection
Rescue Knots / Hitches per application
"Family of 8s" (8 on a bight, Inline 8, Follow-through 8)
Alpine Butterfly
Clove Hitch
Design of the "Z-Rig" “Compound” Haul System Demo & Practice Build
Primary and belay (backup) systems
Anchors, pulleys and redirects
Prussic tying, application to rope, uses
Patient Packaging
Stokes Basket
Sked Stretcher
Backing Up the System
Rescue Scenario
Team is given known details about a fictional ongoing confined space incident
Team is asked to utilize all CS knowledge to open a permit for entry rescue
Team is guided in assigning member roles
Group is asked to build a customized rope rescue system of varying difficulty based on needs / prior training
Rescue is undertaken, with instructor giving guidance where needed and evaluating for post-briefing of
strengths / areas for improvement
It was a horrific workplace tragedy that led to the creation of MSA, the worldwide leader in worker protection and safety product innovation. On the morning of March 26, 1912, the Jed Mine in West Virginia exploded. In a flash, methane gas ignited and more than 80 miners lost their lives.
From this tragedy, mine engineer John T. Ryan Sr. had an epiphany: “If I could spend my life doing what I can to lessen the likelihood of the occurrence of such terrible disasters, I shall feel in the end that my life had been well spent.”
Ryan recruited colleague George H. Deike to help realize his vision for a new company. Recognizing the critical importance of dependable, safe mining equipment, they went straight to one of the country’s great thinkers: Thomas Edison.
The brilliant inventor helped Ryan and Deike create the electric cap lamp which, over the next 25 years, reduced mine explosions by an astounding 75 percent. Of all his inventions, this was the one that did the most for humanity, Edison would later say in life.
In the decades that have come and gone, MSA has continued to lead the charge for workplace safety. We’ve led the way with small first-aid kits and portable methane detectors, and harnessed new technologies to produce state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras, ballistic helmets, and leading edge systems for gas and flame detection.
But we’ve never forgotten where we came from, or why we’re here. We’re called The Safety Company for a reason – a very important reason: Our goal, every single day, is to provide our customers with dependable, high-quality products, instruments, and service to help ensure a safe return home at the end of each work day.
