Risk Assessment in Emergency Situations: Rockfall Scenario
Assessing Risks in a Rockfall Incident
When dealing with a rockfall incident, conducting a thorough risk assessment is paramount to ensuring safety.
Immediate Safety Considerations
Key questions to address:
- Safety Zone: Am I in a safe area away from falling debris?
- Machinery Hazards: Is the nearby machine operator aware and are they secure to prevent accidental movement?
Response to Injured Individuals
Handling injured persons requires:
- Patient Safety: Swift relocation to a secure area away from ongoing hazards.
- Assessing Multiple Casualties: Are there multiple victims? Can they be safely accessed and rescued?
Medical Triage and Prioritisation
Considering triage principles:
- Assessment Prioritisation: Evaluating the severity of injuries and prioritising rescue efforts accordingly.
- Dynamic Risk Assessment: Continuously reassessing risks to ensure safety of responders and casualties.
Ensuring safety remains the top priority throughout the rescue operation.
