Downward evacuation requires the use of protective equipment in particular, but the greatest care and precautions must be taken to avoid secondary accidents.

Upward evacuation is by definition hard work, and a team effort which requires perfect coordination in addition to adequate to specific equipment (such as winches). More complex techniques are required than for downward evacuation.

The use of a mechanical winch may be used when access is easy, whereas a hauling system made up of lightweight pulleys and components is necessary where access is difficult.

Rescues which require the use of rope are generally classified as "technical" rescues. These can only be put in place by specialist units which are particularly well-trained and experienced in these techniques. Such units are usually trained to operate in a variety of different environments such as urban or industrial sites, or in a mountain environment.

The speed and quality of the evacuation depend on their knowledge of the action of tensioning force and the strengths of the anchors as well as their organizational abilities. When the saying "look after number one" comes true... Self evacuation techniques accelerate the rescue process. They are normally planned in advance and discussed with the parties concerned.

They can also avoid the necessity to call out a full-scale rescue team. They are indispensable when a cradle breaks down or when a fire occurs at the work site. An evacuation kit which is simple, lightweight and (especially) always kept in its place, must be available. Training and regular practice are also important safety factors.
