| Why
Logger Rescue... |
| |
| The unique and adverse
conditions associated with logging injuries necessitate that
loggers be prepared to take action to reduce the severity of
a victim's injuries and increase his chances of survival.
Logger Rescue training does the one thing that most loggers
do not do- practice accident response to develop the skills
and mental preparedness necessary to effectively deal with
logging accidents. |
 |
| Logger Rescue was founded in
Berlin, NH in 1987 to meet the needs of the forest products
industry, to help educate those people who fall under the
guidelines of OSHA regulations 1910 & 1928. Logger Rescue
training educates individuals to comply with education of
First Aid and CPR, as well as equipment needed to affect the
management and care of those injured. While learning the
necessary equipment needed, the trainees also learn what to
do in the event of an emergency and how to mitigate the
scene of an accident. |
| |
| In 1994, an Advanced Logger
Rescue course was designed to further educate the industry
in how to become rescuers, until the local fire and EMT's
arrive, to protect both the patient and the rescuers from
becoming victims themselves. This is an eight-hour course
that is taught in the woods, using logging equipment. Once
participants have received this training, they become a
member of the A.L.E.R.T. FIVE- Rescue Team. |
| |
| Currently we have trained
hundreds of loggers, foresters and industrial specialists in
Logger Rescue. Many participants return yearly to gain more
insight and obtain updates in technology and techniques. One
logger recently relayed the story to Dana about a logging
accident that took his brothers life. He stated that if he
had attended this class before the accident occurred, he felt
he could have have made a difference in saving his brother's
life. |
| |
| We have several major
companies from private sector logging contractors to major
insurance companies that either contract with us directly or
help offset the cost of the course by being a major sponsor
for the program. The evaluations of the training have been
positive with many participants stating that they leave the
class feeling much more capable of handling everything from
natural disasters to logging incidents as they arise. |
