RISC-FF Instructor Classes

Operation Lifesaver, Inc.'s (OLI) Railroad Incident Safety Course for Fire Fighters (RISC-FF) was developed for United States fire fighters – both volunteer and career – by OLI and its first responder partners. If railroad tracks run through your community, fire fighters could become involved in responding to a highway-rail grade crossing incident. This course provides critical information allowing fire fighters to respond to incidents involving the railroad effectively and safely.

RISC-FF classes are led by authorized RISC-FF Instructors. A RISC-FF Instructor is an individual who has volunteered to facilitate and instruct OLI’s Incident Safety Course for Fire Fighters (RISC-FF). RISC-FF Instructors are authorized under the policies and procedures set forth by OLI.

RISC-FF Instructor applicants must review and abide by the RISC Instructor Criteria and Minimum Standards linked below.
