Crush Injuries——
Crush injuries can occur in a range of industrial and mining environments, often involving heavy machinery, structural failure or moving equipment.
These scenarios challenge teams to manage severe injuries, control pain, minimise further trauma and coordinate a safe and efficient extrication.

Why it matters
Crush injury incidents demand more than clinical knowledge. They require responders to balance patient care, scene safety, technical rescue and team coordination often in hazardous environments where every decision has consequences.
Realistic scenario-based training allows teams to identify capability gaps, refine communication and build the confidence to perform under pressure before a real emergency tests them.
