Training From TecResQ
Holmatro Rescue Tools Sales and Service and Vehicle Extrication Training
TecResQ offers three levels of training:
Basic
Operational
Advanced
Basic Level Training.
We believe that if we train for our most common type of critical entrapment as our bread and butter operation, just as we train for the single family dwelling fire for suppression training, we will be prepared for our worst case scenario. Most critical entrapments are in the front seat of a vehicle and most of those entrapments involve impingement or impalement behind the steering wheel. A high percentage of vehicle's remain resting on their wheels after an accident. With that in mind basic training consists of extrication, patient packaging and removal from a vehicle at rest on its wheels.
With that basic philosophy in mind some of the highlights that are contained in our basic extrication package are: |
- Scene Safety
- Scene Management
- New Vehicle Technologies/Occupant Protection Systems
- Advanced High Strenth Steels/Vehicle Anatomy and Construction
- Vehicle Stabilization
- Roof removal
- Patient access, treatment, packaging and removal
- Door Removal
- Dash displacement
|
|
| Seminars are tailored to meet the needs of local jurisdictions including the types of tools carried and local demongraphics. |
Operational Level Training.
Operational level training expands the knowledge and skills obtained in basic vehicle extrication. Vehicles that come to rest on their sides and roofs necessitate stabilization knowledge and skills along with rescue procedures and techniques.
Intermediate or operational level extrication training will give the rescuers more options to facilitate assessment and planning. We believe that the more knowledge and skills you can acquire through training, tools in the tool box, the better prepared you will be to assess the scene, the patient, and the entrapment. Development of an action plan and alternative plans will ensure a safe successful operation.
Operational Level Training includes:
|
- Basic skills
- Stabilization
- Cribbing and Struts
- Vehicles on sides
- vehicles on roofs
- Hybrids and alternative Fuels
|
|
Classes are tailored to individual departments, resources, and response requirements. |
Advanced Level Training.
Lift an inch crib an inch. Advanced Extrication training consists of stabilizing and extricating patients from large heavy vehicles with stabilization challenges. This includes buses, mass transport, commercial transport, and heavy equipment.
Advanced classes also cover the challenges of multiple vehicles, vehicles on vehicles, and the resources and tools needed to safely and effectively mitigate these scenes.
Some of the topics covered are:
|
- Basic and operational level skills
- Physics of lifting and moving
- Advanced Stabilization techniques
- weight requirments of heavy vehicles and machinery
- Cribbing, struts, and lifting bags
- Wreckers and Cranes
- Practical Training evolutions
