Sorry I don't have a template but am curious as to whether you are talking about rescue, as in removing from imminent danger, or recovery as e.g. a casualty who has recieved first aid but cannot use the usual means of egress? (I'm ex-rope access and planning for such events had to be integral to our work systems.)

Brian, partly agree about your comment about the CP being used be told the power unit, but don't forget those multi articulated ones such as those used on a bridge that articulates for work under the bridge.  For the OP, if they choose to use a Cp, then make sure it's suitable for the task
