The Worst Case: Trench Collapse or Cave-In- Rescue Awareness and Planning
The potential for serious injury and death exists whenever excavations and trenches are being prepared and work takes place. In the worst case, personnel should be aware of what actions to take immediately after a trench or excavation related emergency, and how to prepare for the arrival of EMS/ Emergency response/ rescue agencies.
This presentation will provide an overview of preparing for and working safely around a trench rescue scene prior to the arrival of trench rescue personnel and an idea of what issues first-in responders should be aware of, may encounter, and how to deal with them safely.
