Elijah Finkelshteyn: In-service Station (Unpredictable Multi-Area response)

Candidate: Elijah Finkelshteyn

Related Goal: Elijah Finkelshteyn : Improve Guard Response to Prepare for Variable Conditions

Objective: Guards should be ready to respond to unpredictable saves at any time -in other words guards should be ready to respond when not in the immediate area of rescue equipment (rotating another guard out, in the locker room, taking out trash, etc..). In the event of a real save, there is no time to plan out where guards will be at (like in a Live recognition drill).

Explain the objective to guards present at the station (1-5 minutes)

How to run the station:

Choose between a passive, active, spinal, choking – Similar to how we have been our VAT drop station at in services
- Have 2-3 activated EAP’s at a time – in order to practice multi area response
Location of Response (per team):
- 2-3 Guard chairs up – 2 people per chair (Guards MUST be rotating)
- 2 guards “taking out garbage” (not literally, just so respondents are not near the site of the activated EAP)
- 2 guards in locker room
Primary will activate EAP, and the response team (which is scattered around the facility) will respond to the activated EAP – but in order for the response team to properly respond they must get all rescue equipment (Backboard, AED, Oxygen, extra tube)

Elijah FInkelshteyn: Meeting #3

During our third meeting (7/23/25) we worked on creating a task related to our overall goal of training guards to respond to an activated EAP when not in the immediate area of rescue equipment. The task that we created is an in-service station which will help train guards to respond more effectively.

Action items:

We will run the In-service station by Jeff & Maddie to get their thoughts & approval on it. Once they approve of it, we can effectively train guards on this using our station at an in-service.

Task Completed: No
