Class provides students with NFPA 1670 proficiencies necessary to be part of a trench rescue team
The advantage of this class is its ‘hands-on’ application. Students aren’t merely watching a computer-based video, or sitting in class reading a textbook. Instead, they spend the majority of their time in the field learning from a practical sense, in simulated trench rescue scenarios. This hands-on approach gives students a sense of accomplishment, and confidence that should an open trench collapse, he or she would be able to assist in the rescue operation and know how and what to do.
This two-day class, taught by JB Safety & Rescue, is geared toward contractors, public agency maintenance personnel, military operations, agricultural and general industry personnel – where open-trench situations may require your employees to know what to do in the event of a soil collapse.
Class will be held January 13-14, 2010 at the Vista Irrigation District offices in Vista, CA, and runs from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm on all days.
Individuals who complete the 2-day training will receive a certificate in Trench Rescue Operations from the California State Fire Marshal.
