The Responder Safety Learning Network has developed free online courses to help rescuers stay safe on the roadway while operating at incidents and vehicle crashes. The courses are developed in cooperation with and vetted by recognized consulting experts in the many aspects of traffic incident management. The consultants for each training module are listed under the “Consultants” tab of the module’s navigation bar for rescuers to contact if needed.
The Fire Service Collaboration with Towing & Recovery Operations course provides leading edge content and resources. Best of all, it is free!
