"Learn How to Handle Livestock Emergencies Before an Accident Happens"
Instructor: Jennifer Woods
Emergency situations involving livestock are stressful and many front line response and rescue teams often have little or no training on how to manage these situations. Instructor Jennifer Woods invites anyone that is likely to be first responders on an accident scene involving livestock to attend her one day course. Woods is a livestock handling specialist from Blackie, Alberta, and has been delivering The Emergency Response Course since 1998. She has assisted fire departments at several livestock accidents and is certified in technical large animal rescue.
Who should attend? The intent of the course is to provide truckers, emergency response personnel, fire fighters, RCMP and other peace officers with knowledge on how to handle livestock in emergency distress situations. Livestock owners also welcome.
Topics Covered: • On the spot decision making for motor vehicle accidents, fire and emergency situations involving livestock • Trailer design and extrication • Animal behavior, particularly in distress situations • Means to calm, rescue, capture and temporarily confine animals • Laws, ethics, and euthanasia protocol • Developing a response team for your area
