It can happen in any town, city, or village - from a kid with a nut stuck on his finger to a person stuck in a hydraulic press. Machinery rescue can be an extremely drawn-out and involved process. The extrication process for a piece of machinery can include disassembly of the machine, metal cutting operations, lifting and spreading.

This 8-hr class will expose and prepare students to handle these types of emergencies.
