The purpose of this four-and-a-half-day course is to provide students with the skills and knowledge needed to train members of their location’s industrial rescue team. The class is designed for team leaders, rope technicians, and other safety professionals who require an in-depth understanding of rope rescue systems.

The focus of the class will be on confined space operations training but the principles covered will apply to a wide range of industrial rescue scenarios.

All participants will receive a Leader’s Guide, PowerPoint presentations, sample student materials, skills checklists and a variety of other resources.

This class will also provide multple opportunities to apply advanced high angle rope techniques to industrial rescue operations.

Prerequisites: Before attending this class, students need to have completed confined space entrant and attendant training, fall protection training, and have a background in rope rescue. In addition, they need to have previous training or a background in First Aid/CPR, Respiratory Protection, and Hazardous Materials. Students must disclose any physical limitation that impacts their ability to perform resue activities.

Industrial Rescue Training—Technical Rescue Training

D2000 Safety offers a variety of Advanced Rescue Training courses to give you the skills necessary to perform patient evacuations safely in complex rescue environments.

The exact rescue skills needed by a team can only be identified after an assessment of the rescue process that the team is expected to perform and ensuring that these skills match the requirements of the rescue environment. D2000 Safety has many years of rescue experience in a wide variety of industrial environments. This means that rescue teams which meet our standards will be able to plan and practice, and then perform if ever needed.

At D2000, we believe that it’s important to train to the specific pre-plans the rescue teams will be asked to follow. For many teams this means confined space rescue training, but rescuing patients who are using fall protection systems may also be required. Other locations in seismically-active areas, like Southern California, have tasked their industrial rescue teams to perform basic structural collapse rescues. Fire departments, particularly those located in rural areas, often need trench rescue training. We also work with a variety of surface mines in helping them to meet their requirements to ensure that anyone who is injured in an accident can be evacuated to a place of safety. Areas of special concern in mines include accessing and rescuing patients from tailings dumps and the cabs of haul trucks.

With so many possible rescue skills, we have developed the expertise needed to ensure that the levels of training we propose match the environment and challenges the team will encounter. In situations requiring high skill levels, we provide an advanced rescue curricula to meet these requirements.
