Early Registration Discount for Grain Bin Entry Tech Rescue Training Extended to Aug. 5

The early registration discount for the 2016 Bin Entry Tech Rescue Training program has been extended to Aug. 5. The training program is for firefighters, first responders and grain personnel Aug. 23-26 in Sidney, Ohio.

SATRA will conduct the training under NFPA and OSHA standards, which will be lead by professional firefighters. Training topics include confined space rescue, incident command, basic rope systems, fall protection, engulfment rescue, patient packaging, fall prevention and atmospheric monitoring.

The first two days of the training will build practical skills, including rope and harness work, to prepare participants for advanced scenarios. During days three and four, participants will learn rescue procedures using 130-foot grain bins at the GEAPS Safety Training Center, where they will work in teams of eight to plan and lead rescues in bins, with SATRA teachers on-site to monitor and check work. At the conclusion of the training, students will work through an entire rescue scenario, from the first call through the grain bin rescue.
