Road Crash Rescue

Students who are deemed competent will receive a Statement of Attainment recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework. This certification is nationally recognised. The Statement is issued by Pinnacle Safety and Training (RTO 40496).

National units of competency

• PUASAR024 Undertake Road Crash Rescue
• PUASAR022 Participate in a Rescue Operation
   

Assessment for this course includes both theory and practical components. The theory assessment covers key knowledge areas such as relevant legislation, types and limitations of rescue equipment, vehicle types and collision dynamics, casualty management principles, and safe work procedures.

The practical assessment requires participants to respond to a series of simulated rescue scenarios using real vehicles. Participants will be assessed on their ability to apply appropriate techniques for scene management, vehicle stabilisation, casualty access, and extrication. Each scenario is designed to reflect realistic conditions and will test the participant’s ability to perform safely and effectively as part of a rescue team.

This course is ideal for individuals who may be required to perform rescue operations involving trapped persons in motor vehicles, industrial environments, or workplace machinery.  This course is also recommended for existing workers who prefer a fully face-to-face learning experience.
