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.
