Water for Industry and Government
Many jobs have the possibility of employees working in or around water. Whether it’s public works employees who are deployed during storms, a biologist out in the field who may cross rivers, or someone simply working near a lake, having a knowledge of the hazards and risk factors associated with water is a must. Northwest Rescue’s water courses teach students the risk factors, ways to mitigate that risk, and simple rescue techniques should a rescue become necessary.
