If a victim is not able to self-rescue, the on- site work team has to respond immediately and move them to safety.

Examples of operations: A team member accesses the victim, unhooks them, then lowers the victim unaccompanied A team member accesses the victim, releases them, then rappels down with the victim The victim is suspended on a pre- installed evacuation system that does not require a team member to access them directly

Technical specifics: Unaccompanied evacuation can generally be done using a ready-to-use rescue kit Accompanied descent requires proper training, as it implies a mastery of advanced rope access techniques In all cases, the rescue method should be as rapid as possible, in order to reduce the risk of suspension trauma, especially when the victim is unconscious
