SOCC Rescue
04/23/2026
Your crew gets dispatched to a reported worker down in a trench. You arrive on scene. The hole is 10 feet deep, the walls are unsupported, heavy equipment on the lip and there's a second worker still inside trying to help.
What does your crew do?
If the answer is "figure it out on arrival" — that's a problem.
Trench incidents are fast, high-consequence, and unforgiving. Secondary collapse is the leading cause of rescuer fatalities. Without awareness-level training, the instinct to help becomes the mechanism of a second victim.
Awareness-level trench rescue training doesn't make your crew a technical rescue team. It gives them the knowledge to:
Recognize collapse indicators before entry
Control the scene and keep untrained bystanders out
Request the right resources immediately
Not make it worse
That last one saves lives.
Construction season is here. Trench incidents don't wait for your department to get trained.

TRENCH COLLAPSES DON'T WAIT FOR YOU TO FIGURE OUT SOIL TYPES.
SOCC has launched a Trench Rescue Awareness course, NFPA 1006 aligned, for firefighters who need to recognize trench hazards without becoming additional victims.
This is awareness training, not rescue operations.
The focus is on what awareness level personnel CAN and SHOULD DO before a technical rescue team arrives, and just as importantly, what they must not do.
Covers soil behavior, collapse mechanisms, scene size up, isolation and activation of technical rescue.
Who it's for:
Firefighters, company officers, training officers, and fire service candidates.
Works as pre-course training for departments planning operations-level programs or standalone awareness for personnel who need to recognize trench hazards.
$40 USD. Immediate access.
