RAPPELLING ACTIVITY

Rappelling, when you look at it from the bottom seems like a very unimaginable
and impossible idea to do, especially to those who fears to try this set up. During the
discussions in the morning, the safety precautions of the rappelling activity were
already relayed along with the different types of set ups. We were shown how to tie our
harness or our loops. Two different types of loops were shown since there was a
different—a more confusing—knotting of the rope for males while it was easier for the
females since there was just little loops to do. Different types of rappelling were also
shown but it was more of a visualization since they couldn’t do a demonstration just yet
since the venue of the lectures were at the Pescar Gym and the rappelling venue was at
the New Academic Building ( COE ).

After the CPR activity, our cluster and groups moved to the next venue and
station which was the rappelling activity at the New Academic Building ( COE ).

The activity was divided by sections and clusters that was held in New Academic
Building ( COE ) and the starting point was at the third floor of the building. Our cluster
or our group moved to the rappelling activity at around 4:00 PM and waited for another
hour before it was our turn to do the rappelling. Before it started, the Rappelling Team
demonstrated the different types of doing the rappelling. We were shown the standard
rappelling, rescue rappelling and the inverted rappelling. The most used were of the
kind of military rappelling since the venue didn’t have a full plane wall.

It was around 5:00 PM when our group started to line up for the next set of
people to do the rappelling activity. While on the line, we could see our group members
along with the other groups shake in fear and at the same time with excitement. We
were handled by calm and very patient team and although we were instructed that only
those that know how to tie themselves for the rappelling could do the activity, the team
still considered and adjusted our knotting skills. We were given a chest trap, harness
and ropes ( for males ) and made their own harness. While being secured to the line,
our loops and chest traps checked, the gloves were the true challenge since looking
down at the bottom felt more sweaty and scarier than ever. There is another team on
the second floor that helps you assist or does a pep talk to motivate you to get to the
ground floor. It worked just fine and their little chats makes it less scarier and more fun
to get to the bottom and on the ground floor, there were also another team that
assisted us as we get lower. Our group completely finished the rappelling activity at
around 5:30 and moved to the next station.

RESCUE OPERATIONS

Critical. An adjective that is suffice to describe the experiences and knowledge

we have acquired during the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Training as
fundamental part of our NSTP. While the trained professionals were staging drills on
how to respond during times of great crisis and disaster, we called upon our
attentiveness in observing and examining proper actions and commands necessary in
carrying out rescue operations and securing the well-being of victims. Seeing
responders perform the prescribed rescue operations seemed easy, with the
involvement of students from different clusters. It was brief yet wholesome.
After we passed several drills, we then moved forward to be assessed as rescuers of
Cluster 16. Only then did we realize that rescue operations were never a series of
commands and actions; presence of mind, team unity, and no room for errors should
be existent. As we ventured, testing our skills and resilience along the way, we faced
several struggles, including ununiformed movements, command confusion, and
improper handling of the victim. We practiced repeatedly until we managed to stage a
rescue operation with minimal or no errors at all and had a sense of oneness among us.
Truly, this training proved that a rescuer has to have great skills and selfless heart to
render service to people above all others despite the impending danger. Knowledge of
theory is really different when being applied to practical use, a metaphor for the rescue
training we thought was manageable yet turned out differently and more complicated.

FIRE PREVENTION

A fire extinguisher is a portable container usually filled with chemicals for putting out
fire. An active fire protection device used to extinguish or control fires. Fire
extinguishers are mostly used in emergency situations. It helps put out fire bu either
applying an agent that cools the burning fuel or displacing the surrounding oxygen
depending on the type of fire extinguisher that you use. There are many different types
of fire extinguishers, each meant to put out a certain type of fire.

A fire extinguisher works by pulling out the body pin and deoressing the lever at the top
of the cylinder release the material in yhe extinguisher released by high amount of
pressure. At the top of the cylinder, there is a smaller cylinder filled with compressed
gas. A release valve acts as a locking mechanism and prevents this gas from escaping.

The fire safety is important because it cannot only destroys your property but it can
also create a life threatening injury or even can take lives. You need to put or give
some fire safety risk assessment training which cannot only save lives but will also help
you in lowering down of chances to reduce your property. Fire safety training can teach
how to recognize fire hazards, conduct a fire safety risk assessment, prevent a
workplace fire , and respond if fire occurs. A fire extinguisher is a portable container

There are five classes of fire; Class A fires are defined as ordinary combustibles. These
types are fires use commonly flammable material as their fuel source. Wood, fabric,
paper, trash ,and plastics are common sources of Class A fires, the Class B fire is
defined as one that uses a flammable liquid or gas as its fuel base. Common liquid
based fuel sources include petroleum based oils and paints, kerosene, and gasoline.
Flammable gases such as butane or propane are also common fuel sources in Class B
fires, The Class C fire is defined as a fire that uses electrical components and/or
energized equipment as its fuel source. Electrical fires are often fueled by motors,
appliances, and electronic transformers, the Class D fire is defined as one that uses a
combustible metal as its fuel source. Examples of such combustible metals include
titanium, magnesium, aluminum, and potassium. And lastly, the class K fire which is
defined as a cooking fire involving combustion from liquids used in food preparation.
Technically a type of liquid fire, Class K fires are distinct enough to warrant their own
classification.

Fire can also benefit the environment because fires occurring in nature can restore
ecological balance and facilitate regeneration. It can also be dangerous. Fires require
oxygen and fuel to be ignited. With oxygen present in the air, faulty electrical wiring,
cigarette butts, static electricity, and even concentrated sunlight can act as fuel and a
destructive fire can start. Fires are made more deadly by smoke and toxic gases
emitted from consumed materials.

CPR EXERCISE

Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation or CPR, a lifesaving technique for emergency

purposes. Though it looks easy, but it’s harder when it’s done. Not everyone can and
know to perform CPR. It takes a lot of effort to perform CPR and save lives.

During our NSTP, instructors demonstrated us the right execution of CPR. They
were really enthusiastic about teaching us. One reason is, it is for survival. Even without
certificates we can save people’s lives. After demonstrating the right way to perform
CPR, we were tasked to perform it on our own. By pair, each one played the role of the
victim and the rescuer. At first it kind of dull, and everyone’s on sweat, but after
performing we felt satisfaction. It feels good to be ready on unexpected situations.
When someone stops breathing we know what we should do. It’s a lifesaving technique
everyone must know.

We began with chest compressions obviously, as we repeated it five times with

intervals on it to complete the 100 every minute. During intervals we practiced the
mouth to mouth, then we listen to their heartbeat if they are still responsive. After that
we checked if the victim is already conscious we helped them get up and we assist
them. CPR is needed if theirs is no early assistance from a medical team. It is advised
that those who only know how to perform CPR are allowed as much as possible. But
civilians who can perform it very well can also help. Life is on the line so we must find
way to save it. Help must be on the way while you are performing CPR because you
don’t know what might harm the victim. If medical personnel’s are already on the area
you can leave the victim to them.

All in all this training became very helpful to the students for they provide proper
knowledge and skills on how to respond and rescue to unexpected events and accidents.
This training under NSTP made us realize that there are no barriers or limits in helping
those people in need. It also trained us to be alert, vigilant and prepared in any
circumstances that may happen unexpectedly. As a student, we should also know this
things because we are also considered as citizens of the country applying moral and
core values; Maka-Diyos, Makakalikasan, Makatao at Makabansa
