Titles available
USAR Timber Shoring
A unique training tool for USAR!
Our first P3DF package covers timber shoring systems used within urban search and rescue, and is in support of our ProGuide on the same topic. A portfolio of 19 shore patterns, with every beam, gusset plate and nail exactly positioned, enables teams to refresh their skills in a fun, interactive way; trainers to explain techiques in a classroom setting like never before, and delegates to be given course material from which they can learn far more than notes or photographs can hope to show.
You will need Adobe Reader version 9 installed in order to view the document correctly. The sample is fully functional, however printing is disabled and only some of the shore patterns are included. You must not use the sample document for any commercial or training purposes.
