FARM EQUIPMENT ACCIDENT RESCUE

This 20-hour course was developed to provide agencies who may respond to farming accidents the information required to preform a safe expedient rescue for both the rescuers and the patient. Accidents involving all types of farm machinery are discussed with emphasis on safety of the rescuers as well as the victim(s).

The aim of the course is to introduce emergency responders to various types of farm equipment and their operation and the accidents that may occur. It is designed for rescuers who may or may not have knowledge of farm equipment.
