Defra Mod 2 - Swiftwater and Flood First Responder - Scheduled Course
type: Product
description: Description: Primarily intended for those working in and around floods, our First Responder course is very popular with industrial clients as it is so widely known and accepted by key stakeholders. Defra Mod 2 is often stated as the minimum requirement for operatives working around water in tender documents. When we run these programmes for industrial clients, the programme is re-shaped with an emphasis on safety and prevention rather than rescue. We often also include lifejacket training, which is a standard requirement for our industrial clients. First Responders undertake bank-based and shallow water operations. To enable this, a responder requires the ability to self-rescue; basic boat handling and rope work are also covered on the programme where relevant to your needs. Course content includes: Rescue 3 philosophy Training standards Best practice guidelines for water rescue Hydrology and water hazards Floodwater dynamics and hazards Flood theory Personal equipment Technical and team equipment Pre-planning Risk assessments Incident size-up Incident management and site control Medical and decontamination considerations Considerations for night/poor visibility operations Mud, ice and unstable surface considerations Introduction to searching rivers and floods Communications Swiftwater swimming techniques Strainer swim Conditional rescues – talk, reach, throw Shallow water techniques Casualty management People and equipment entrapments Tethered boat options (if used by agency) Inflated fire hose (if used by agency) Flat-water sled paddling (if used by agency)
