The First Aid Training Manual for De-sludging Operators is a specialised document developed through multiple rounds of simulation exercises to identify and respond to possible emergency scenarios throughout the de-sludging operation. Building on the NAS study, the document divides the de-sludging process into four zones and 55 steps and highlights more vulnerable stages where emergencies are likely to occur. The manual, split into 13 sessions, deals with these emergencies using an array of training methods. For trainers, the manual presents a list of references to strengthen the understanding and a flexible session plan to effectively train de-sludging operators.
