1.1 本指南确定了搜救（SAR）Swiftwater/Flood Rescue Technician Basic（SWFT Basic）人员在Swiftwater环境中、环境中或周围执行任务时应展示的专业领域。 1.1.1 具体而言，本指南定义了为SWFT基本人员或同等人员准备响应或执行岸上迅雷和洪水救援行动所需的推荐培训。 1.1.2 本指南确立了SWFT的一般专业领域- 基本人员应进行演示。本指南不包括特殊类型的快速水/洪水搜救，例如直升机和船载救援。 1.1.3 本指南还规定了最低培训要求。 1.2 这是swiftwater/flood Responder的入门级职位。 1.3 SWFT基本人员应能够在其培训范围内识别、减少、消除或缓解急流或洪水情况或环境中的危险和风险，并能够请求适当的额外资源。 1.4 本指南确定了SWFT基本人员通常使用的救援类型、战术和系统，例如使用谈话、伸手、投掷和涉水方法的岸上救援。 1.5 具备本指南规定的最低资格和经验的SWFT基本人员能够在合格的监督下执行岸上救援，并在岸上协助水下救援。 1.6 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 本指南规定了培训SWFT基本人员的最低要求。按照本指南培训的人员被视为SWFT基础人员。 4.2 被认定为SWFT Basic的每个人都应满足本指南的要求或同等要求。 4.3 本指南供有管辖权的个人和当局（AHJ）使用，他们希望确定SWFT基础所需的最低培训。不包括或暗示任何高级技能。 4.4 本指南是专门为在美国使用而制定的，但也可以根据需要在其他国家使用。 4.5 本指南应与监管当局授权的既定和授权指南和程序结合使用。 4.6 本指南中的任何内容均不妨碍监管当局为其自身成员增加额外要求。 4.7 AHJ应确定人员、机构和组织有资格并有权参与快水/洪水搜索和救援行动。 4.8 监管当局应确定用于评估满足本指南要求程度的评估过程。 4.9 Swiftwater人员只有在进行了彻底的风险评估和适当的风险缓解工作（如使用个人防护装备（PPE）、限制岸上技术或将恢复推迟到更有利的水条件下）后，才能在Swiftwater环境中进行活动。在swiftwater环境中进行活动时，工作人员至少应遵守适当的国家、联邦、州、部落、省和地方安全标准。 SWFT基本人员应由Swiftwater/Flood Rescue Technician Intermediate（SWFT Intermediate）或Swiftwater/Flood Rescue Technician Advanced（SWFT Advanced）进行水下救援操作。岸基救援不一定需要SWFT中级或SWFT高级监督，但任何救援都需要适当的指挥和控制，这取决于复杂程度。应采用适当的安全预防措施进行救援。

1.1 This guide establishes the areas of expertise that Search and Rescue (SAR) Swiftwater/Flood Rescue Technician Basic (SWFT-Basic) personnel shall demonstrate in order to perform in, on, or around a swiftwater environment. 1.1.1 Specifically, this guide defines the recommended training required to prepare SWFT-Basic personnel, or equivalent, for responding to or conducting shore-based swiftwater and flood rescue operations. 1.1.2 This guide establishes the general areas of expertise that SWFT-Basic personnel shall demonstrate. This guide does not cover specialized types of swiftwater/flood SAR, such as helicopter and boat-based rescues. 1.1.3 This guide also establishes the minimum training requirements. 1.2 This is the entry-level position for swiftwater/flood responders. 1.3 SWFT-Basic personnel shall be able to recognize, reduce, eliminate, or mitigate, within the scope of their training, the hazards and risks in a swiftwater or flood situation or environment and be able to request appropriate additional resources. 1.4 This guide identifies types of rescues, tactics, and systems that are typically used by SWFT-Basic personnel, such as shore-based rescues using talking, reaching, throwing, and wading methods. 1.5 SWFT-Basic personnel who have met the minimum qualifications and experience within this guide are capable of performing shore-based rescues and assisting with in-water rescues from the shore under qualified supervision. 1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 This guide establishes the minimum requirements for training SWFT-Basic personnel. A person trained to this guide is considered to be a SWFT-Basic. 4.2 Every person who is identified as a SWFT-Basic shall have met the requirements or equivalent of this guide. 4.3 This guide is to be used by the individuals and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) that wish to identify the minimum training required for SWFT-Basic. No advanced skills are included or implied. 4.4 This guide was developed specifically for use in the United States, but may be used in other countries as needed. 4.5 This guide should be used in conjunction with established and authorized guidelines and procedures mandated by the AHJ. 4.6 Nothing in this guide precludes an AHJ from adding additional requirements for its own members. 4.7 The AHJ shall determine that personnel, agencies, and organizations are qualified and authorized to participate in swiftwater/flood search and rescue operations. 4.8 The AHJ shall determine the evaluation process used to assess the extent to which the requirements of this guide are met. 4.9 Swiftwater personnel should only perform activities in the swiftwater environment after a thorough risk assessment and appropriate risk mitigation efforts (such as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), restricting efforts to shore-based techniques, or delaying a recovery until more favorable water conditions exist) have been performed. At the very least, personnel should follow the appropriate national, federal, state, tribal, provincial, and local safety standards as they apply to activities in swiftwater environments. SWFT-Basic personnel should be supervised by a Swiftwater/Flood Rescue Technician-Intermediate (SWFT-Intermediate) or Swiftwater/Flood Rescue Technician-Advanced (SWFT-Advanced) for in-water rescue operations. Shore-based rescue does not necessarily require SWFT-Intermediate or SWFT-Advanced supervision, but any rescue requires appropriate command and control, determined by the level of complexity. Rescue shall be done using the appropriate safety precautions.
