CS38 updates?

[john dawson]

I understand the requirement for cs38/aerial rescue now dictates a compulsory pole rescue, with a friction bollard and not a flying capstan?

[Neil Frost]

I'm doing my CS38 training now, and we have to either do a 2-man or a 3-man pole rescue. For the 3 man, we are using a whoopie sling and a figure 8 device with a friction hitch failsafe.

[Paul Smith]

Only the pole is compulsory.

Sorry not correct

can be a 3 or 3 man rescue at the discression of the assessor

Needs to be a fail safe system ie if the guy was lowering on a capstan and let go the casualty would SPLAT if backed up with a prussick and was PPE loler compliant ect then fine

Presently ALL Assessors are going on a standard setting series of dates
