Join TLAER for training at the Pineland Farms Equestrian Center.
Taken from TLAER brochure:
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
TLAER training participants will be taught how to safely prepare for and approach large animal incidents. Examples of incidents include overturned and wrecked trailers or livestock haulers, large animals loose on the road, large animals stuck in a swimming pool or mud, large animals tangled in farm equipment, and barn fires. This program also covers incidents where people may be trapped with the animal. There are too many stories of good-intended “heroic rescues” where the animal or its rescuer is injured or killed during the rescue.
Attendees will also be given instruction on behavior of large animals in rescue situations, how to use the equipment your emergency department already owns to solve TLAER incidents, protocol and safety procedures, and how to interact with other resources that may already exist in your community to find an appropriate solution. This course combines classroom instruction with a variety of audio-visual, demonstration, and hands-on laboratory work as a team. Laboratory includes live animal handling and practice with hands-on work for each student.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
Emergency response community members such as firefighters, rescue squads, police, animal control offices, large animal veterinarians, veterinary technicians, state and county animal response teams. |
