Rotator-Integrated Extrication

This course is designed to train rescue personnel in the safe and effective integration of heavy rotators during complex vehicle and equipment extrication incidents. Instruction begins with a 1–2 hour classroom session led by a qualified rotator operator, providing an overview of rotator capabilities, operational considerations, safety zones, and rigging concepts specific to heavy recovery equipment.

Following the classroom portion, students participate in hands-on training, including a detailed walk-around of the rotator and live demonstrations of operational functions. Students will then work through progressive, scenario-based evolutions requiring them to assess the incident, develop a coordinated action plan, and communicate effectively with the rotator operator to stabilize loads, control movement, and facilitate patient access and extrication.
