Prerequisite: None.           

Duration: Three hours.

This multi-media, open discussion presentation covers all of the requirements needed to bring one’s agency into Awareness Level compliance with Chapter 9 of NFPA’s 1670 standard for trench and excavation rescue. This information allows all department members to safely assist the technical rescue team at the scene of a rescue.


Trench Rescue: NFPA 1670 Operations Level Skills (TR-OLS)

Prerequisite: None.            

Duration: Three days.

Trenches are opened on a daily basis. New construction, utility repair, storm drain installation, etc. are regular events in almost every community in the nation. TR-OLS introduces the students to the basic procedures needed to safely handle a single straight trench emergency.  At the completion of the course, teams will have met all of the Operations Level requirements outlined in NFPA 1670, Chapter 9.

 

Trench Rescue: NFPA 1670 Technician Level Skills (TR-TLS)

Prerequisite: TR-OLS            

Duration: Three days.

Designed to meet all of the Technician Level requirements in both NFPA 1670 and 1006, TR-TLS focuses on intersecting trenches and trenches up to 15-feet deep. Building upon the skills and techniques taught in TR-OLS, this course is all hands-on with special attention given to problem solving, scene control and other patent removal options.

 


Trench Rescue: Advanced Applications (TR-AA)

Prerequisite: TR-TLS           

Duration: Two days.

TR-AA is primarily scenario based. Teams are shown new skills to handle unique and challenging collapse situations. A strong emphasis is placed on effective team and scene management, rapid deployment, and the utilization of other heavy rescue disciplines and specialized equipment to effect difficult trench rescues.

NOTE ON SHORING SYSTEMS: HRT has the ability to teach any of the primary shoring rescue systems (pneumatic, timber, mechanical, hydraulic, etc.). The majority of departments opt for a single system and train on that system. We will teach those specific techniques based on the agency's chosen shoring system.
