The scope of this course is to prepare local responders to operate as a local member of a regional team within the National Incident Management System at an event requiring statewide response that has resulted in the need for a shallow, non-intersecting trench rescue. The Trench Rescue Awareness and Operations course has been designed in accordance with NFPA 1006 Standard for Technical Rescue Professional Qualifications. This course pertains to trench rescues involving injured or entrapped persons. The class covers the federal and state regulations, use of specialized equipment for atmospheric monitoring, emergency shoring systems, victim excavation, and employment of rescuer constructed retrieval systems. Special emphasis will be given to rescuer safety and scene evolutions involving various trench rescue problems. Written and practical skills testing will be conducted at the completion of the course.
IFSI prerequisites are based on Illinois and NFPA standards. Equivalencies from other agencies will be reviewed upon request.
