Course detail: Trench Rescue Operations - Refresher
Trench Rescue Operations is a one-day (8 hours) course designed to refresh the trained technical rescuer over NFPA 1006 Trench Rescue job performance requirements.

The course format includes lectures and hands-on application of skills in non-intersecting trenches with a maximum depth of eight (8) feet of less.
The course format includes lectures and hands-on application of skills on planned structures or natural environments involving strenuous physical activity and the ability to do moderate to heavy lifting.
