  8. PPE for rescues • Head protection • Foot protection • Hearing protection 2b

  9. Retrieval systems • Retrieval equipment is necessary for non-entry rescue • Entrants must use chest or full-body harness • Retrieval line attachment locations 3a

  10. Retrieval systems • Wristlets may be used instead of the harness if using a harness is infeasible • Retrieval equipment may not be required if it increases the risk of entry 3b

  16. Behavioral effects of hazards • Effects of oxygen deficient atmospheres • Signs that a person is breathing too much oxygen 6a

  17. Behavioral effects of hazards • Effects of other hazard exposure • Signs of fatigue 6b

  18. Performing assigned rescue duties • Employees responsible for rescue duties must be trained: • as authorized entrants • in specific rescue duties 7a
