1、Designation: F2890 12F2890 17Standard Guide forHazard Awareness for Search and Rescue Personnel1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2890; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A

2、 number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONRecognition of hazards associated with search and rescue operations is critical to the decision-making process as it relates to person

3、al safety, the urgency of response, and resource requirements.This guide is intended to ensure that emergency personnel responding to incidents outside their normaloperating area are aware of the hazards associated with response to unfamiliar environments.1. Scope1.1 This guide is intended for train

4、ing those who normally work in natural environments, solely subject to terrain andweather-related risks, who may be asked to respond to, or who may encounter, the operations defined in 1.2.1.2 This guide identifies and describes hazardous situations and environments, and the associated risks affecti

5、ng search andrescue personnel who may be working on or around the following:1.2.1 Landsearch;1.2.2 Land rescue;1.2.3 Structural collapse;1.2.4 Rope rescues;1.2.5 Confined spaces;1.2.6 Water, both still and moving; and1.2.7 Trench or excavation collapse.1.3 The knowledge conveyed in this guide is int

6、ended to enable search and rescue (SAR) personnel to recognize situations thatmay require skills or capabilities they have not been trained to perform. This understanding will allow them to seek moreknowledgeable personnel to mitigate the hazard and perform such rescues or other activities required

7、to complete their mission.1.4 This guide is not intended to suggest that all search and rescue personnel must have the training identified within it.However, wherever the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) deems this training to be appropriate, this document can be used asa guide.1.5 The AHJ shall

8、determine what level of training constitutes sufficient competence for search and rescue personnel to enterareas, or carry out missions, which include the hazards described in this guide.1.6 This guide identifies some of the known disciplines of SAR and their associated hazards. It does not, however

9、, attempt tolist all hazards or risks of which a person must be aware to operate safely and effectively in and around any of the areas listed in1.1 or in Appendix X1.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof

10、the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.1.8 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardizationestablished in the Decision on

11、 Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issuedby the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.1 This test method guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F32 on Search and Rescue and is the direct responsibility of S

Last previous edition approved in 2012 asF289012. DOI: 10.1520/F28901210.1520/F289017.This document is not an ASTM standard and

13、is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Becauseit may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only th

14、e current versionof the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959.

Significance and Use4.1 This guide establishes the minimum level of training required to provide awareness-level knowledge for personnel

19、operatingin and around the areas and operations listed in 1.1.4.2 This guide may be used by individuals and AHJs that wish to identify the minimum training standards for land-basedpersonnel operating in and around these areas and operations.4.3 A person trained to this guide is considered to be awar

20、e of the hazards and risks associated with these areas and operations.4.4 A person trained solely to this guide is not considered a “searcher” or “searcher,” “rescuer,” or both.4.5 This guide may be used to augment other training for a searcher or rescuer, or both.and/or rescuer.4.6 This guide by it

21、self is not a training document. It is only an outline of some of the topics required for training or evaluatinga searcher and/or rescuer, although it can be used to develop a training document or program.4.7 It is the responsibility of the AHJ to determine the depth or detail of training needed to

22、meet its training requirements.4.8 Nothing in this guide precludes an AHJ from adding additional requirements.4.9 This guide does not stand alone but must be used with the reference documents to provide the specific minimum trainingneeded by a ground searcher and/or rescuer operating in these areas.
