Horizontal movement with a casualty can be achieved by performing a rope-to-rope transfer. Such a maneuver could be used during a rescue to avoid obstructions or to return to an access point from underneath a structure such as a platform or bridge.
Level 2 and Level 3 candidates shall demonstrate transferring, with a casualty, from one set of ropes to another set of ropes rigged more than 3 m apart.

Trainees should demonstrate:
a) good casualty management;
b) maintaining four appropriate points of attachment when required;
c) the potential for the use of the casualty’s personal equipment.
Trainees should show a rope-to-rope transfer that avoids the potential for an out-of control swing, e.g. one caused by the failure of a single item of equipment, by the use of appropriate back-ups.
