The purpose of the General Rescue Manual is to provide guidelines for standard methods of training for General Rescue techniques in New Zealand. It is written to accompany the USAR Awareness Student Manual and reference to this manual is made frequently.
The development of the USAR structure in New Zealand has provided the impetus for the review in 2004 of the General Rescue Manual. This, with an increased emphasis on safety, has meant some techniques have been modified, others deleted or replaced. Interestingly, some of the core skills developed over the years in New Zealand have stood the test of time and are a credit to the pioneers of general rescue in New Zealand. USAR Awareness and General Rescue combine to provide rescue workers with a range of core skills to safely and effectively locate, extract and rescue victims from a variety of events. It is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provide a framework for the development of individual rescue workers, and ultimately rescue teams.
NOTE: This manual has been developed to support and accompany practical training sessions delivered by suitably qualified trainers.
