SUMMARY:Introduction to Farm Emergencies
DESCRIPTION:The first module is designed to give participants an overv
 iew of local farm emergencies. It will involve discussion and demonstr
 ations of farm machinery\, structures\, chemicals\,  and people. This 
 awareness presentation will teach emergency responders how to recogniz
 e and initially manage (size-up) various hazards that they will encoun
 ter while arriving at the scene of an agricultural emergency and how t
 o effectively preplan for farm related emergencies in their communitie
 s. The second module is designed to teach emergency responders (fire\,
  rescue\, EMS) how to properly manage emergencies involving machinery 
 entanglements in various settings. Tractors and machinery are involved
  in nearly 50% of farm deaths and disabling injuries so rural responde
 rs must be proficient in how to manage incidents involving this equipm
 ent whether on the farm or off. The principals learned in this module 
 have application to typical machines used on the farm as well as in ma
 nufacturing industries so this module is applicable to non-rural emerg
 ency responders as well.  Participants will learn how to anticipate an
 d control various forms of stored energy and develop rescue strategies
  from various types of machines. Emphasis will be placed\non teamwork 
 to achieve the best possible care for the patient and property that is
  involved in the incident. This operations/\ntechnical level training 
 will teach emergency providers how to efficiently manage farm tractor 
 & machinery related emergencies following NFPA 1670 Standard on Operat
 ions and Training for Technical Rescue Incidents.
