Vehicle Rescue Tips (Last Landing) Accident Road Impossibility & Vehicle Relocation

First, the accident can not be connected

Usually the road conditions at the accident site will affect the rescue on the site. Poor roads refer to the locations where rescue vehicles are parked and obstacles exist in the supply of materials needed for rescue operations.

Obstacles include:

1 far from the distance

2 uneven or steep slopes

3 presence of hazardous materials, such as fallen trees or electrical equipment exposed road

4 water (dead, flowing or tidal)

5 Danger / Wildlife

Transporting people and equipment safely to a designated location is a top priority.

Considerations:

1 Is there another way?

2 Do you need additional resources such as an underwater rescue team?

3 Do you need assistance from other teams, such as electric companies?

4 Is it feasible to reposition the vehicle?

The field commander must determine the priority level to ensure that the hazards are handled and efforts are made to adopt control measures to reduce the risk.

If the type of accident requires the use of a small tool, then a small hydraulic pump will play a large role, and generally can quickly open a safe passage for faster rescue operations.

Second, the vehicle is relocated

As rescue workers, we need to understand all available rescue methods. In this way, we can successfully rescue the wounded from most accident scenes.

However, in some cases, certain rescue plans are limited by the following factors:

1 security

2 entrance

3 out of position / situation

4 location of the injured in the car

5 Injured condition in the car

6 The danger of the site environment is difficult or impossible to control

For these reasons, rescue workers may feel that they need to relocate the vehicle before starting the rescue.

The plan to reposition the vehicle (or move the vehicle to another location) seems to be contrary to what we have learned and to the stability of the vehicle, but we should remember that our rescue plan is a balanced decision:

1 security

2 available time (according to the physical condition of the injured person)

3 The position, body direction and dynamic body condition of the injured

For these reasons, rescue workers must decide whether to relocate the vehicle. Whether or not to relocate the vehicle must be decided as soon as possible, because the time passes, which will lead to delays in on-site rescue work. It may also require other resources such as jacks or specific lifting gear.

Third, the accident site stability is complicated

It is rare that the stability of the accident site is complicated.

However, this situation may indeed occur, so we must always be ready with the relevant skills, equipment and understanding of the stability principles in this situation, and how to stabilize:

1 To reduce further injuries to the injured, including preventing further movement of the vehicle causing injuries to the injured person's spine or pelvis.

2 Provide a solid platform for medical intervention

3 Provide a sturdy platform for the use of hydraulic tools and prevent further distortion of the vehicle's appearance.

Conditions that are more complex may require additional equipment, including:

1 extra pads and wedges or wooden brackets

2 additional vehicle stabilizers

3 emergency support system

4 winch

5 high / low pressure lifting bag

6 cranes

Fourth, there are many accidents of the injured

Not all accidents have only one wounded person. Common situations include:

1 There are many wounded in a car

2 There are multiple injured in different vehicles

The most shipped information can facilitate the development of plans on the way to the accident site, but rescue workers should prepare for such accidents in advance.

Accidents of multiple casualties usually mean that the resources that have just arrived at the scene of the accident will be very tense. The factors considered by the field commander should include:

1 complete full range of rubs (as previously described)

2 Identify hazards, use control measures to reduce risk

3 Request additional resources required

4 Rescue the injured (acquired medical assistance) and allocate resources according to priority

Such accidents are also a challenge for the most experienced rescue workers, but it should be remembered that the technical aspects of adopting a structural approach to all operations should be for rescue operations, but due to the casualties in such accidents. Quantity, this is unrealistic; technical assistance will have to wait until additional rescue personnel arrive.
