Emergency Medical Response
for Firearms Instructors & Range Safety Officer’s
What the Firearms Instructor or Range Safety Officer does in the first few minutes of a medical emergency on the range can make the difference between life and death or long term disability. Are you properly medically trained?
This 8 hour training course focuses on providing firearms instructors with the skills and knowledge to develop emergency medical action plans and how to implement them to provide the appropriate immediate medical care to students who are injured in training.
Firearms instructors have one of the toughest jobs in training. They have to be able to deliver teaching points and student performance objectives during live-fire range courses. They must also ensure they are running a safe training environment.
Unfortunately, even in training, injuries occur. The types of injuries possibly occurring in training vary from twisted ankles during dynamic courses, to bee stings, hypothermia and heat stroke, to serious traumatic injuries received from projectile splashback or gunshot wounds.
Emergency medical response services may not always be readily available or they may be delayed getting to your range or training facility when injuries occur.
Being able to identify various types of injuries and having the knowledge and skills to administer emergency medical care may keep you and your students alive until advanced medical care is available and they are transported to the appropriate medical treatment facility.
Using techniques designed for and proven by the U.S. military, this course introduces firearms instructors to pre-incident planning, preparation, and provision of basic, effective, initial medical care for themselves and others.
Knowing how to identify a serious injury and taking the correct action within the first few minutes of being injured are critical.
Ultimately, surviving a serious injury before help arrives may be up to you! What will you do to keep your students alive?
Professional firearms instructors and range safety officers accept tremendous responsibility. We feel emergency medical planning and medical training is a critical component to firearms range safety and firearms instruction.
