This interactive workshop was developed to bring the primary responders together and help them understand the importance of a unified, coordinated effort when managing and clearing a highway crash. The workshop helps agencies understand and respect the priorities of other responders and stresses the importance of teamwork and communication. This interagency workshop is taught by a team of trainers with practical experience and in-depth knowledge on managing a highway crash. Highway Crash Site Management is specifically tailored for the region of the state in which it is being presented. Participants are provided with a key action Checklist that identifies responsibilities and resources of responding agencies. The Checklist serves as a tool to help institute a simplified, coordinated effort at the crash scene and explains the roles of other agencies on the scene. Agencies are reminded of activities that need to be performed or at least considered when working a crash site. Participants also are provided with practical solutions to reduce the amount of time spent on scene. Topics of discussion include: the incident command system, placement of emergency vehicles, towing companies, traffic control, motorist information, terrorism, lighting on emergency vehicles, crash scene investigation, communications, and quick clearance. Case studies are presented and critiqued by the trainers and participants. The workshop concludes with a challenging crash scenario that allows participants to apply what they learned. Responders are provided with a role to play that is different from their real-life role. They must use their Checklist to respond, manage, and clear the crash scene.
