VOID SEARCH AND RESCUE CONCEPTS
8 HOUR COURSE
This course will encompass the various topics that your response team may encounter in void search operations in structural collapse. Void search teams are discussed, grid search techniques and overall hazard identification will also be explained. The proper shoring techniques for void operation will be demonstrated, including box cribbing and vertical void shores, hands on erection of the shores will be conducted in a void collapse scenario.

VOID SEARCH AND RESCUE TECHNIQUES
16 HOUR COURSE
This is a two day program with extensive void search hands on training conducted. The students will be subjected to operations in several void simulators. Team concepts, proper shoring techniques, safety operations, and size up will be examined. Several actual rescue simulations will be conducted with students extrication victims throughout the two day scenario.
