Significance and Use4
22、.1 This guide establishes the minimum requirements fortraining SWFT-Basic personnel. A person trained to this guideis considered to be a SWFT-Basic.4.2 Every person who is identified as a SWFT-Basic shallhave met the requirements, or equivalent, of this guide.4.3 This guide is to be used by the indi
23、viduals and Authori-ties Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) that wish to identify theminimum training required for SWFT-Basic. No advancedskills are included or implied.4.4 This guide was developed specifically for use in theUnited States, but may be used in other countries as needed.4.5 This guide should b
24、e used in conjunction with estab-lished and authorized guidelines and procedures mandated bythe AHJ.4.6 Nothing in this guide precludes an AHJ from addingadditional requirements for its own members.4.7 The AHJ shall determine that personnel, agencies, andorganizations are qualified and authorized to
25、 participate inSwiftwater/flood search and rescue operations.4.8 The AHJ shall determine the evaluation process used toassess the extent to which the requirements of this guide aremet.4.9 4.9 Swiftwater personnel should only perform activitiesin the Swiftwater environment after a thorough risk asses
26、smentand appropriate risk mitigation efforts (such as the use ofpersonal protective equipment (PPE), restricting efforts toshore-based techniques, or delaying a recovery until morefavorable water conditions exist) have been performed. At thevery least, personnel should follow the appropriate nationa
27、l,federal, state, tribal, provincial, and local safety standards asthey apply to activities in Swiftwater environments. SWFT-Basic personnel should be supervised by a Swiftwater/FloodRescue Technician-Intermediate (SWFT-Intermediate) orSwiftwater/Flood Rescue Technician-Advanced (SWFT-Advanced) for
28、in-water rescue operations. Shore-based rescuedoes not necessarily require SWFT-Intermediate or SWFT-Advanced supervision, but any rescue requires appropriatecommand and control, determined by the level of complexity.Rescue shall be done using the appropriate safety precautions.5.
