Traffic Control Course (Emergency Services) This
program has been specifically designed for Emergency Services Personnel
to meet the requirements of the latest edition of the traffic control
manual with consideration to safety of crews and the general public
while apparatus is attending an emergency scene. This 4 - hour theory/practical
course meets WCB requirements. Safe Operation Of Fire Apparatus (SOFA) - Prerequisite: Level 2 HAT
Hazard Avoidance Training (HAT) Level 1 & 2 HAT
Level 3 HAT (Theory) This
4 - hour classroom program is the ideal companion to the practical
HAT course. It can also be taken independently. Level 3 HAT (Theory)
provides a greater understanding of the modern vehicle and how to
use it in today's traffic environment. Your drivers will learn the
critical importance of traction control, tire types and condition.
The course covers the various drive technologies (Front/Rear/All
and 4 Wheel Drive), their safety implications and control techniques
appropriate for each. Transmission types and control techniques,
full and partial Anti-Lock Brake; Active/Passive Passenger Restraints
systems will also be covered. Level 3 HAT also looks at the physical
factors effecting traction and control in intersections, curves,
hills, railway crossings, bridges, tunnels, highway/freeway entrances
& exits and multi-lane roadways. With this background and the practical
training of Level 1 and Level 2 HAT, you can expect lower incident
frequency along with lower vehicle operating and maintenance costs.
Level 3 HAT will help drivers learn: Why pre-trip inspections are
important for all drivers; how and why correct vehicle control techniques
help maintain traction, stability and control; how to use brake,
transmission, drive and steering systems safely and correctly; plus
how to deal with various road conditions and situations. |

Emergency
Services 
This
course has been designed to introduce the safe operation of emergency
vehicles. The focus will consider vehicle response to evasive actions
by the operator as well as safe backing. This practical operation
will take the operator through a variety of stop and go problems,
simulating traffic situations encountered routinely. Vehicles utilized
are a pumper and smaller response vehicle.
This
course takes a hands-on approach to traffic safety by improving
the driver's vehicle control skills as well as his/her understanding
of the traffic environment. This 4 - hour course starts with short
classroom discussions then moves to in-vehicle operation. Instead
of reacting to events after they are beyond the driver's control,
Level 1 HAT gives your drivers a positive game plan to minimize
the chance of being trapped in hazardous situations. Maximum of
5 students per training vehicle. The option is there to use your
vehicle for the best results. This course will cover: Vehicle setup
for maximum vision, injury protection & control; traction management
& vehicle control; B.A.S.I.C. skills enhancement (Braking, Accelerating,
Steering, In Control); Space, Time, Vision application; scanning
to identify warning of potential conflict and strategies for dealing
with potentially hazardous situations.
