- This program is designed to provide the background knowledge necessary to perform rescue operations at a structural collapse incident. The course includes instruction on: structural construction considerations such as types of construction, constructiontechniques, terminology and mechanism of collapse based on structure type; detailed concepts of structural shoring systems; void search and rescue operations in structural collapse incidents; structural collapse team organization and operations concepts. Students will also participate in a hands-on component where emergency collapse shoring as well as basic collapse shoring construction will be introduced.
- This two-day program will familiarize the student with the tools used in structural and excavation collapse related incidents. This is an intensive hands-on course and students will be evaluated on proper use of the tools provided.
- This course combines Rescue Technician Basic and Confined Space Rescue allowing students to complete this training in a reduced time frame. Rescue Technician-Basic - Provides a base from which to prepare students for a wide variety of possible rescue operations. This course includes an overview in areas of specialized rescue, search, technical rescue management, risks and priorities; use of ropes, knots, and rope systems in a low angle environment, and establishment of landing zones for helicopter operations. Demonstrations, practice sessions and testing are included. Confined Space-Technician - This course provides practical training in confined-space hazards; air monitoring and ventilation; space isolation techniques; personal protective equipment, including both supplied air, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), and respirators; and retrieval systems and methods. Practical evolutions enable the student to evaluate a specific confined-space incident and perform the necessary procedures to safely and effectively rescue the victim.
