Our staff of experienced and highly skilled instructors deliver succinct and accurate knowledge, all while building confidence and team camaraderie among all participants. RescUSA has trained and built lasting relationships with military, industrial and fire service rescuers throughout the US and Europe.
RescUSA provides command level staffing, support and training to jurisdictions stricken with disasters, as well as consulting for those preparing for potential future challenges.
Customized Training
Customized training by our staff helped enable Denmark’s International USAR team to pass a strict evaluation and become internationally certified by the INSARAG Board.
Our training program will motivate your members to excel. Through positive instructor reinforcement, class participants will reach above and beyond their ‘comfort zone’, resulting in the most well-trained rescuer possible.
All RescUSA training programs are NFPA and OSHA Standard compliant.
For military, fire service and industrial participants, the RescUSA program instills the knowledge and skills necessary to enable disaster responders to perform as expert rescuers alongside any USAR team, or to operate safely and effectively as a stand-alone task force.
For those who perform daily duty functions in challenging, high-risk environments, particularly at heights above and below ground, as well as within confined spaces, RescUSA training programs are custom built specifically for our attendees. At a minimum, every participant walks away with enhanced technical rescue skills, and the self confidence necessary to perform successfully under the worst circumstances.
RescUSA also serves our Army Corps of Engineers, utility providers and industrial clients by providing expert, fully equipped Rescue Standby teams for high-risk confined space entry operations. All of our personnel are well seasoned career rescuers, with EMT and Paramedic certifications. When deployed to your facility, RescUSA rescue personnel size-up and pre-rig all essential rescue systems long before any client personnel enter the space, then remain strategically positioned in the work space until everyone has exited the space at job completion.
Training Facility Capabilities
RescUSA has the knowledge, resources and expertise not only for training, but for training facility site creation as well. Our sites are designed to facilitate the training of first responders as well as US&R teams. RescUSA can assist on any, or all, levels of construction and utilization of your training site:
• Consulting Services: define facility requirements and training programs;
• Construction Services: build the facility and re-set props after use;
• Training Services: deliver course material and/or train-the trainer programs;
• Evaluation Services: observe and assess response capabilities to direct future training needs.
