Students will participate in extensive field exercises along with various classroom activities to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct basic trench rescue operations. An overview of OSHA regulations for Excavations/Trenching will include: shoring systems; soil classification; hazard recognition and control methods; soil mechanics; types of collapses; and patient care considerations. Once students have completed hands-on training with trench rescue equipment and instruction in the proper use of shoring panels, they will be challenged with a realistic trench rescue scenario. In this exercise, students will install a shoring system using timber and pneumatic shores with an emphasis on rescuer safety and basic shoring skills. Effectiveness is measured by performance-based evolutions and a written examination. Meets requirements for NFPA 1006.
