The Next Step in rescue! It is a fact: while victims suspended in their harness need relief and lowering as quickly as possible, many victims of up-tower accidents and
medical emergencies would benefit greatly from medical care and packaging before being lowered or assisted to the ground.
Beyond basic rescue, the EEM equips personnel with the vital tools and
training needed to care for a victim prior to evacuation. Elevated Emergency Management teaches students how to recognize and gain control of situations where professional medical assistance is impractical or untimely. Since most rural emergency response teams do not have the training or tools necessary to reach a patient who can be over 300’ up, the purpose of our course is to have EEM-trained personnel on scene to provide immediate patient assessment and rapid care.
Course objectives include:
- Ensure scene safety for the rescuer and the victim
- Prioritize care for life-threatening injuries
- Recognize and care for traumatic injures including burns,
severe bleeding, electrocution, and amputation - Apply patient packaging and stabilization
- Evacuate a victim with minimal disruption of care
Tech Safety Lines proudly utilizes members of Dallas Fire Department’s Tactical Rescue Team as instructors for the Elevated Emergency Management course. These trainers are also part of a statewide Urban Search & Rescue team, Texas Task Force 2. TSL is fortunate to have instructors with such a wide breadth of real-world rescue knowledge
and experience!
