Basic Auto Extrication (Awareness Level)
20 hrs
This class is designed to provide the student with a working knowledge of the requirements specified
in chapter 2 of NFPA 472 standard (6-2.1) Response to Hazardous Materials.
NFPA 1670 chapter 6, Awareness level technical rescue functions,
NFPA 1006 (6-1.1-6-1.8). Basic level functions.
The NFPA establishes an Awareness, Operations and Technician level for vehicle and machinery
rescue much like the field of hazardous material emergency response. Each level
has its own capabilities as well as limitations.
Awareness level describes the minimum capability of a responder
who could be first on the scene of a technical rescue incident. Members at this
level are generally not considered rescuers.

-
Establishing scene safety zones

General stabilization techniques
