Lol, be sure to remember where you left your dog last year!
Machinery Rescue?! That’s right! As of January of 2019, RS Rescue will be hosting NFPA 1006 compliant Machinery Rescue programs. Any of you who have taken our vehicle rescue courses will know that we only hold hands on training programs. This is no exception!
Description:
During the NFPA 1006 Operations Level 8 hour course, students will be introduced to the various stages of machinery accidents and learn how to safely and efficiently navigate through these stages in a team environment. You will learn how to identify and isolate potential hazards to both you and the patient. We will focus on systematic scene management approaches coupled with a variety of stabilization techniques.
You will go through step by step training evolutions on the safe use of pneumatic, electric and hand tools such as the Dremel, portable band saw, grinder, whizzer saw and much more! The afternoon portion of the day will include real time staged scenarios for you and your team to tackle!
Space is limited to ensure personal attention for each student and lots of hands on tool time. This program incorporates all NFPA 1006 Awareness and Operations Level Requirements. Upon Successful completion of all of these requirements, both an NFPA 1006 compliant Awareness Level and Operations Level Machinery Rescue certificate will be issued.
