Extricating a Large Animal from
Newer Style Precast Concrete Cattle Guards
Part Three
Please note: This feature is a continuation of
Part One for which the context of this discussion is explained.
Sample Extrication Incidents
The concepts presented in this Information Sheet do not cover all potential issues. Everyone at the scene should follow all standard safety protocols.
In any actual emergency, and also when working around mechanical equipment in any training exercise, all persons in the immediate area need to wear helmets, gloves, appropriate work clothes and boots. A number of unexpected things can happen and having an unprotected rescuer become injured will only further complicate the rescue effort. Safety of people always trumps all other priorities!
The training information presented in these information sheets and guides is offered for illustrative and volunteer refresher purposes only. It is not a substitute for actual hands-on training.
