TECHNICAL RESCUE
AWARENESS
OUR PURPOSE
 Inform You On The Different Types Of
Technical Rescues
 Inform You When You Can / Need To Call
 Inform You of The Dangers / Actions That
Can Happen
 Try To Answer Any / All Questions You May
Have
SUGGESTIONS
 Technical Rescue Awareness Class
 Some Members Trained In Operations
 Continued Training and Refresher Classes
 Further Training Is Required To Do Actual
Rescues and Trainings
Authority Having Jurisdiction
 Conduct Hazard and Risk Analysis For A
Possible TRT Call In Area
– They Can Make The Call If Needed
– Likelihood If Needed
– Where It Might Occur
– Effects It Will Have On The Community
PRE-PLAN
Authority Having Jurisdiction
 Adhere To OSHA’s General Duty Clause
– Provide A Safe Work Place For Employees
Authority Having Jurisdiction

STOP All Rescue Attempts
 We Are A Tool In The Tool Box We DO
NOT Take Over
COMMAND
 In Order To Manage The Incident,
Command and Control Must Be Established
 Positioned Needed To Be Filled (Minimum)

TRENCH RESCUES
 TRENCH
-trenches are DEEPER than they are wide
 EXCAVATION
-excavation are WIDER than they are deep
TRENCH STATISTICS







54 Trench Fatalities Per Year (Average)
65% are WOULD-BE Rescuers
Most Occur in Trenches 5’-10’ Deep
Cubic Foot of Dirt Weighs Approx. 100 lbs
Cubic Yard of Dirt Weighs Approx. 3,000 lbs
Most Collapse are 4,000 lbs of Dirt
Secondary Collapse Often Happens Within 1/10 of
a Second
 Most Scenarios Will Last a 4-10 Hour Duration
INDIANA & OSHA
Indiana is an OSHA State
Federal OSHA oversees State Programs
IDOL Governs State and Municipal
Employees
Indiana Adopted Federal OSHA Regulation
– 29 CFR Part 1926
A TRENCH ACCORDING TO
OSHA
CONFINED SPACE RESCUE
 OSHA LAW
– 29 CFR 1910.146
 IDOL
– Adopted OSHA Law
 Law Identifies Two Types of Confined
Spaces
– PERMIT
– NON-PERMIT
PERMIT REQUIRED
 A Confined Space That Contains One of
Following:
– Contains or Has The Potential To Contain a Hazardous
Atmosphere (IDLH)
– Contains a Substance That Could Engulf The Entrant
– Contains Inwardly Converging Walls / Floors That Could
Trap The Entrant Causing Asphyxiation
– Other Serious Safety Hazards That Could Harm The
Entrant
NON-PERMIT
 Large Enough And So Configured To Bodily
Enter
 Limited or Restricted Means of Entry and
Exit
 Not Designed For Continuous Human
Occupancy
STATISTICS
 30% of Deaths are Would-Be Rescuers
 Up to 90% of Fatalities Are Do To
Atmospheric Hazards
 Once You Crossed The Plane / Threshold,
You Have Just Entered The Space, Whether
It Be A Hand or Foot
KEY PLAYERS
 Authorized Entrant
– The Man Going In
 Attendant
– The Man Outside Who Monitors The Entrant
 Entry Supervisor
– The Man In-Charge of The Entry
– Responsible Party For Permit
– Responsible Party To Cancel Entry
– Responsible Party For Overseeing Operation
CONFINED SPACES
Septic Tanks
Maneuer Pits
Tunnels
Vats
Vaults
Man Holes
Tanks
Crawl Spaces
Pipe Lines
Incinerators
Grain Bins
Wells
Silos
Tank Cars
Caves
Sewers
Vessels
Storage Tanks
Sewers
Trenches
THE MAIN DANGERS
 Oxygen Deficiency
– Contains 19.5% Oxygen or Less
 Oxygen Enriched
– Contains 23.5% or More Oxygen
 Toxic Gases / Vapors
GRAIN BIN RESCUES
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
 CALL ASAP
– Get Rescue Personnel On-The-Road / We Can
Always Be Turned Around
 Keep Everyone Away / DO NOT Go In!
 LOCK-OUT / TAG-OUT
ROPE RESCUE
 High Angle
– Vertical Rescue
– All Weight Is Mainly Supported By The Rope
 Low Angle
– Majority Of Weight Is Supported By The Ground
But The Rope System Facilitates Movement
and Fall Protection
ROPE RESCUE SCENARIOS

WHY DO WE DO THIS?
Do We Want These Guys Doing It?
Besides They Need Someone To Look Up To!

SHORING
NO-GO
 FIRE
 HAZ-MAT
VEHICLE / MACHINERY
 Most Departments Deal With “IN-HOUSE”
 M.A.B.A.S. 201 Does Have More / Specialized
Equipment
 M.A.B.A.S. 201 Does Have Specialized Training In
Vehicle / Machinery
 When In-Doubt CALL
WILDERNESS SEARCH
 Confused with Wide Area Search
 Wilderness Search
– Large / Small Terrain
– Environment Not Modified
By Human Activity
– Known Number of Victims
 Wide Area Search
– Large Terrain
– Unknown number of Victims
RESCUE OPERATIONS
 Usually Police and / or DNR In-Charge
 K-9 Teams Are Available
 M.A.B.A.S Will / Can Assist

Establish Command &
Safety
First On-Scene Response

TRENCH
-Straight or Intersecting
-Approx. Depth and Width
-Heavy Equipment Shut Off
-Is Patient Cover? How Much Covered?
-Trench Box In Hole?
-Mark Victim In-Case Further Cave-Ins
-Vac-Truck Needed?
-Dewatering Needed?
First On-Scene Response
 STRUCTURAL COLLAPSE
– Type / Size Area Involved
– Main / Priority Buildings
– Number / Location of Known Victims
– Heavy Equipment Needed
– Talk With Witnesses / Intel
First On-Scene Response
 CONFINED SPACE
– Above Ground or Below Ground
– How Many Victims
– How Far In Is The Victim(s)
– Haz-Mat Involved
– Lock-Out / Tag-Out, Control Utilities
– Why / What Was Patient Doing In Space
– Witness Intel
First On-Scene Response
 ROPE RESCUE
– Patient Conscious / Unconscious
– How High Elevated Above / Below Ground
– Scene Accessible
First On-Scene Response
 WATER RESCUE
– Where Patient Went In At
– Patients Age and What They Were Wearing
– Use TIC to Scan Banks
– Notify Other Depts With Boats (Niles / SBFD)
REMEMBER
 REMEMBER SAFETY IS EVERYONES
RESPONSIBILITY
 THIS WAS NOT AN AWARENESS CLASS
 This Was Only An Orientation For What A
Technical Rescue Can Be
