Man vs. machinery incidents occur across the country. They may involve a person stuck in some sort of industrial machinery or be as routine as a ring stuck on a victim's finger. This class will introduce students to tools and methods that have been proven to be effective in rescuing victims. The pros and cons of various tactics will be discussed and implemented. Students will participate in multiple scenarios including ring removals, swing removals, fence impalements, a hand caught in a meat grinder, a person trapped under a vehicle, and industrial machinery entrapments.

PPE Required: Lightweight rescue gear or jumpsuit, helmet, gloves, safety boots and eye protection.
