Using tools to access modes of transport

Control Measure Knowledge

This control measure should be read in conjunction with Effective and co-ordinated use of rescue tools

 

If it is possible to determine the design and construction of the mode of transport, the most appropriate tools can be deployed. This should help to achieve the operational objectives, while minimising the hazards associated with accessing the mode of transport.

It might be necessary to seek specialist advice or assistance to determine the design and construction, including the materials used, especially if the mode of transport is uncommon or relatively new.

If it has not been possible to identify the construction materials of the mode of transport, tools should be closely monitored once deployed. If the tools do not perform as expected, it may be an indication that there are unexpected materials present. This may necessitate a review of the operational plan, including the tools and methods required, to gain access to the mode of transport.

If the use of the preferred tools may introduce additional energy to the mode of transport, it may be necessary to consider the use of alternative tools. If this is not feasible, the mode of transport may require additional stabilisation.
