All rescue teams, both industrial and municipal, will benefit from attending Rescue Challenge. The event is set up so that a team’s capability or experience level really doesn’t matter. Each team is simply responding like they would if that scenario happened at their facility. Our expert evaluators provide tailored feedback with the sole intention of helping teams improve as much as possible. Observers are also welcome.
Roco Rescue instructors first brief the teams on the scenario. Then teams are “on the clock” to devise and execute a plan to safely rescue the victim(s). Roco instructors closely monitor each team and provide oral and written feedback at the end. Challenge removes teams from the comfort of their home turf and presents them with rescue scenarios that test not only their technical rescue skills but also their ability to work as a team and to think and plan under pressure.
Realistic scenarios are designed with teaching goals that require different rescue and rigging skills. For example, some of the scenarios include simulated IDLH rescue entries with the use of SAR and SCBA equipment. Others include single-person and multi-casualty scenarios with a mix of manikins and live victims/evaluators as patients.
Over the course of two intense days, teams will satisfy the annual minimum practice requirements of OSHA 1910.146 PRCS. You will also…
