TRAINING BUILT AROUND THE INCIDENT
Vehicle rescue is not simply about operating hydraulic tools. Effective extrication requires crews to understand the incident, the casualty, vehicle construction, available resources and the consequences of each intervention.
RTC Rescue develops practical training that encourages rescuers to assess the problem, select proportionate techniques and adapt their rescue plan as the incident develops.
• Casualty-centred decision-making
• Proportionate and evidence-informed techniques
• Effective use of available rescue equipment
• Adaptable approaches for complex incidents
