MODULE IN ATTRACTION AND THEME PARK OPERATION 12

Second Quarter /Week 4/Day 1 & 2
A. Objectives:
1.     Provide emergency care
B. Lesson/Topic:
1. Basic Rescue
Lesson Information

The theme park employee must be able to recognize and assess emergency
situations quickly and correctly, like if there is a need to bring the customer to
the nearest hospital. The operations manual of the theme park must contain
the standard procedures on implementing emergency action or applying
emergency care techniques, such as resuscitation or CPR. In any case, the
theme park employee must seek assistance from emergency services,
colleagues, or other customers when appropriate.

Providing Reports on Emergencies

The theme park employee needs to document emergency situations according to standard
procedures. He or she must provide clear and accurate reports at all times. Such reports are made
so that preventive and corrective measures can be undertaken to avoid emergency situations from
happening again.
Water Rescue
Water rescue - is any incident that involves the removal of victims from any body of water other than
a swimming pool. Floods are the most common of all natural disasters and gener- ally cause greater
mortality than any other natural hazard.
Hazards Associated with Water Rescue
 Human nature: The “need to do something now” can prompt people to make rescue attempts
without proper training or equipment.
 Environmental: Hazards can involve extreme temperatures; cold affects ability to think clearly
and hampers fine motor skills; heat exhaustion and dehydration are a concern as well.
 Weather: Accelerates hypothermia. In still water body heat is lost 25 times faster than in air at
the same temperature.
 Aquatic environment: Be aware of animal life, fish, insects, plant life, seaweed, biohazards,
bacterial, and viral risks.

 Dive option hazards: These include barotrauma, decompression sickness, nitrogen narcosis,
oxygen toxicity, embolism, fatigue, loss of air, anxiety reactions.
 Ice operation hazards: Cold injuries such as frostbite or hypothermia; thin ice with sudden
immersion reflex or entrapment under ice.
 Swift water operation hazards: Strainers and debris, holes, obstructions above or below the
water surface.

Water Rescue PPE

 Wet suits, dry suits, exposure suits , Thermal protection
 PFDs include a whistle, knife, strobe light, or light stick worn by all personnel in or near water
or on a boat
 Lifelines, helmet, gloves

Rescue Plan of Action & Methods

1. First unit on scene sizes up the situation and determines the number and condition of patients. If
rescue is deemed necessary, consider the need for additional personnel and equipment.
2. Secure the immediate area to prevent an increase of victims.
3. Assess hazards, location, and number of victims. Before com- mencing extraction, yell clear and
simple instructions to the victim. Ensure firm footing and remember the victim is in duress and may
pull rescuers into the water.
REACH
Step 1: Reach with an outstretched arm, leg, or other tool (long stick/scarf/clothes) from a crouched
or lying position.
DO NOT enter water any deeper than knee deep, unless tethered.
WADE
Step 2: Test the depth with a long stick before wading in and then use the stick to reach out. Hold on
to someone else or the bank.
THROW
Step 3: Throw rope bags, life rings, and floats - anything that will float (this is only effective when the
subject is cooperative)
ROW
Step 4: Use a boat if you can use it safely. Do not try to pull the person on board in case they panic
and capsize the boat.
Continuously monitor situations that could adversely affect the rescue, such as a rise in water, top
loads, suspended loads, or shifting of rescue vehicle.
Once the victim has been removed to a safe area, medical personnel should be on scene to
evaluate and transport to the hospital if necessary.

Safe Swimming Position

If you get swept away, assume the safe swimming position and navigate with ferry angle. (Image)

Awareness Level Personnel (Resident) may:

 Establish scene controls.

 Establish Incident Command.
 Initiate accountability and safety.
 Evaluate patient condition.
 Activate needed resources.
 Secure and interview witnesses.
 Establish last seen point.
 Identify number of victims, age, and sex of victims.

Rescue Communications
Whistle Commands
1 Blast = Stop and look at me
2 Blasts = Begin the action that we agreed upon or is indicated
3 Blasts (repetitive) = I need help

Hand Signals
One arm in air = I need help
One hand on top of head = I am OK Rope Signals
1 Tug = OK
2 Tugs = Advance
3 Tugs = Take up slack 4 Tugs = Help

LEARNING ACTIVITY:
Directions: Work on the exercise. Write your output on a sheet of paper.

1. What are the characteristics should an employee assigned in a water-based ride location
possess to ensure safety of customers?
2. What are the danger or hazard signs that you should watch out for?
3. What basic rescue techniques can youperform to save a drowning customer?

Generalization

Ventilation is priority, unlike in cardiac arrest. If the patient does not respond to 2
rescue breaths that make the chest rise, the rescuer should immediately begin
performing high-quality chest compressions. CPR, including the application of an
au- tomated external defibrillator, is then performed according to standard
guidelines. Cervical spine immobilization is not recom- mended unless there are
clinical signs of injury or concerning mechanism, as it can interfere with essential
airway manage- ment.
