Teaching your employees basic skills to immediately attempt a rescue when emergency response personnel may be delayed by distance, just makes good sense.

Earlier this month I finished teaching a Confined Space Rescue class at Rainbow Municipal Water District.  There were 12 students from the district in attendance including the Regulatory Compliance Manager, Jeff Stacy, who set the class up.  Jeff realized that, with his crews working in various remote locations around their north county area, there might not be a timely response by fire department rescue teams from neighboring cities.  Training an employee-based rescue team gives them the ability to immediately attempt a rescue and thereby improve chances of survival of the injured or ill entrant.

The 3 day class included subjects such as rescue procedures, patient medical care, use of stretchers, rope rescue systems, atmospheric monitoring and ventilation and hazard isolation.  2 ½ days of the 3 day class includes hands-on skills and scenarios.
