Take the Challenge and Learn More!
Find out at Roco’s Rescue Challenge coming up on October 10-11 at the BEST Complex in Beaumont, Texas.
This event will provide the most realistic rescue experience possible in an open learning environment that is both fun and challenging. Teams will work through timed, real-world scenarios that will require them to perform under pressure – all while under the watchful eye of Roco’s lead instructors. Observers are also invited to check out the event and watch as the teams progress through multiple scenarios. (Advanced registration is required.)
Every emergency is unique - gain experience thinking on your feet, your knees, or whatever it takes. Improve individual and team rescue skills at Challenge.
Designed to document a team’s true rescue capabilities, Rescue Challenge will also give participants the chance to meet OSHA’s minimum practice requirements in one, two-day event. As the teams demonstrate their individual skills and teamwork abilities, they will size-up, preplan and execute simulated rescue operations in all six (6) Confined Space Types as referenced in OSHA 1910.146. Each evolution will then be debriefed as Roco evaluators offer their input and suggestions. Challenge is all about making the teams better at what they do. Participants from the March 2011 event, held at the Roco Training Center in Baton Rouge, were enthusiastic about the benefits Challenge offers industrial rescue teams.
Joey Ray, Exxon Plastics team leader commented, “This event serves as our annual performance evaluation because here we get all 6 types of confined spaces. At the plant, we might just have one or two spaces available to train in.”
“Every year we learn something different,” says one team member of the Lion Oil Rescue Team from El Dorado, Arkansas. “Challenge gives us an opportunity to build on what we already know in specific ‘rescue jobs’ (roles). We rotate in and out of jobs throughout the event, which helps us as a team because we know that any one of our team members can do any part of the rescue. Every time we come to Challenge, we learn new techniques to hopefully help us save lives in our refinery.”

Roco’s Fall 2012 Challenge will be held at the BEST Complex in Beaumont, Texas, which has multiple industrial props designed to give a very realistic rescue experience. “It’s a great facility that will offer a wide array of ‘challenging’ scenarios,” says Dennis O’Connell, Roco’s Director of Training and Challenge Coordinator.
Rescuers beware…and be ready! Challenge will be fun, you will learn, and you will leave a better rescuer.
