Insulated Rescue Hook for HEV Emergencies Training
Credits : 0.3
About the Course:
This Insulated Rescue Hook for HEV Emergencies microcredential trains HEV technicians to understand the purpose and safe use of an insulated retrieval hook during high-voltage electrical emergencies.
Learners will understand how an insulated retrieval hook can be used to move a person away from an energized electrical source when direct contact could expose the rescuer to electrical shock. Through immersive VR simulations, learners will practice recognizing an electrical emergency, maintaining a safe position, using the insulated hook appropriately, and initiating the appropriate emergency response.
The course emphasizes high-voltage safety, electrical hazard awareness, appropriate use of insulated rescue equipment, and emergency response procedures. Learners will also understand the importance of avoiding direct contact with a person who may still be energized and following established emergency and rescue protocols.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify an insulated retrieval hook and understand its purpose in HEV environments.
- Explain how an insulated retrieval hook helps protect rescuers during electrical emergencies.
- Recognize situations where a person may be in contact with an energized high-voltage source.
- Identify the hazards associated with approaching an electrically energized person.
- Maintain a safe position while preparing to use insulated rescue equipment.
- Demonstrate the basic use of an insulated retrieval hook to move an affected person away from an electrical hazard.
- Follow appropriate emergency response and high-voltage safety procedures.
- Recognize the importance of contacting emergency services and qualified personnel during an electrical incident.
- Avoid direct contact with an affected person until the electrical hazard has been controlled.
- Support appropriate post-incident reporting and safety procedures.
