29 5/18/2015Dixon High School Fire Department29 Ladders Climbing and Working on Ladders

30 5/18/2015Dixon High School Fire Department30 Ladders Ladder climbing should be done smoothly and rhythmically. The climber should ascend the ladder so that there is the least possible amount of bounce and sway. This smoothness is accomplished if the climber’s knee is bent to ease the weight on each rung.

31 5/18/2015Dixon High School Fire Department31 Ladders The climber’s arms should be kept straight during the climb; this action keeps the body away from the ladder and permits free knee movement during the climb. When using the rungs, the hands should grasp the rungs with the palms down and the thumbs beneath the rung.

32 5/18/2015Dixon High School Fire Department32 Ladders An option for hand placement when climbing ground ladders is to climb while sliding both hands up behind the beams to maintain constant contact.

33 5/18/2015Dixon High School Fire Department33 Ladders

34 5/18/2015Dixon High School Fire Department34 Ladders When working from a ground ladder, either a Class I life safety harness(ladder belt) or a leg lock can be used.

35 5/18/2015Dixon High School Fire Department35 Ladders Rescue on a Ladder

36 5/18/2015Dixon High School Fire Department36 Ladders Conscious victims are lowered feet first from the building onto a ladder. Unconscious victim is held on a ladder in the same way as a conscious victim except that the victim’s body rests on the rescuer’s supporting knee. The victim’s feet are placed outside the rails to prevent entanglement.

37 5/18/2015Dixon High School Fire Department37 Ladders A similar way to lower an unconscious victim involves using the same hold by the rescuer described in the previous rescue, but the victim is turned around to face the rescuer. This position reduces the chances of the victim’s limbs catching between the rungs.

38 5/18/2015Dixon High School Fire Department38 Ladders An conscious or unconscious victim is cradled in front of the rescuer, with the victim’s legs over the rescuer’s shoulders, and the victim’s arms draped over the rescuer’s arms. This method is also very effective with extremely heavy victims, whether are conscious or not.
