Training Bechtel’s Emergency Response Team

Over four days in August, we were on-site at Bechtel’s facility in Yarwun to provide Vertical Rescue training to the Emergency Response team.

There were 10 volunteer members of the team in attendance, and our trainer said they possessed excellent medical and procedural knowledge, and were extremely keen and enthusiastic.

Our trainers are some of the most well-trained and experienced technicians in Australia. This real-world experience allows us to focus our training on authentic, likely rescue scenarios. Pick-off rescues, gotcha-kit rescues, hauling systems, stretcher rescues in difficult vertical and constricted terrain - they did it all! The skills the team acquired over the four days stand them in good stead to be able to respond to difficult access emergencies throughout the plant.

It’s all about keeping your mates safe!
