Industrial Rescue I
This one-day program is an introduction to the confined space environment. The pre-entry portion expands on the perception of what a confined space is, and the hazards to be expected when working in or around a confined space. The foundation for safe work habits associated with industrial work sites is introduced. As well, the local sequence of events leading to confined space entry is covered in the theory portion and then put to use through a series of practical exercises. Hot and cold work permits, lockout procedures, body manipulation, ropes/knots and basic confined space rescue are all covered. The course is consists of approximately three hours of theory and six hours practical exercises.
Objectives are tested by both practical demonstration and written competency exam. Certification, valid for three years, is issued upon completion of objectives.
Industrial Rescue II
This two-day program is an introduction to elevated rescue techniques used in industrial settings. It begins with developing an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of various tools and equipment used in the high angle environment, and then moves onto the mastery of current knots and hitches that make these rigging systems work. General rigging principles such as stretcher lashing, anchoring, belaying, rappelling, lowering and self-rescue are taught at this level. Participants are also introduced to the basics of mechanical advantage developed with ropes and pulleys. All elevated rope work in this program is based on single line systems. The course includes approximately three hours of theory and 17 hours of practical exercises.
Objectives are tested by both practical demonstration and written competency exam. Certification, valid for three years, is issued upon completion of objectives.
Industrial Rescue III
This three-day program incorporates elements from the confined space and high angle environments. The course expands on rope work skills, such as mid rope rescues and using rope and pulley mechanical advantages for rescue situations. Time is spent performing vertical and horizontal rescues from confined spaces while using different types of breathing apparatus, methods of communication and rope systems. This course is consists of approximately six hours of theory and 24 hours of practical exercises.
Objectives are tested by both practical demonstration and written competency exam. Certification, valid for three years, is issued upon completion of objectives.
Industrial Rescue IV
This four-day program is aimed at developing team rescue dynamics, with leadership and problem solving the focus. Through a series of practical exercises, participants are placed into each team position and must use the skills developed in Industrial Rescue I, II and III to solve scenario-driven rescue problems. There will be is less guidance from the instructors in system development with the absolute focus on safety. The course is involves approximately eight hours of theory and 32 hours of practical exercise.
Objectives are tested by both practical demonstration and written competency exam. Certification, valid for three years, is issued upon completion of objectives.
