As an emergency service worker, you may be called on to aid a person that has become injured in a farm-related emergency. The outcome of the injured victim is often dependant on care given at the scene. The golden hour is often long past by the time help arrives on the scene. Rescue personnel are sometimes injured or even killed because of their unfamiliarity with farm machines, structures and animals.

PAgricultural Rescue Training is designed to help local emergency services develop strategies and procedures to be better prepared to respond to and manage on-farm emergencies. With this accomplished, better care will be provided for the victim. The better the care that is provided, the better the chances of survival.
