CITY OF JASPER HOSTS TRENCH RESCUE CLASS

The City of Jasper hosted a Trench Rescue Class for the Public Works and Fire Department personnel.  This was a 24 hour class taught by Instructor Brandon Johnson with Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), which included a class room portion and hands on skills to show how to rescue someone in an emergency collapse situation.  Employees learned how to determine different types of hazards and things to look for while digging a trench.  Employees also performed simulated rescues and learned how to set up shoring to make it safe to enter the trench.  We hope this knowledge will help us prevent an emergency from happening and if one does, we can handle the situation and save a life.

Thanks for everyone that made this class possible.
