Industrial Rescue After a Fall, Difficult Access (ScaffPack™ SS Tower Rescue Solution Component)

This specialized, in depth course is designed to instruct students who work in environments that dictate a rescue at height may require horizontal, as well as vertical, movement of an injured or suspended worker.
High voltage tower linemen, wind turbine workers in the hub of a nacelle or in the blades, offshore platform maintenance crews- all work in dangerous and complex environments that may necessitate a complicated on site rescue.

This course also meets the criteria established by the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) Tower Climber Fall Protection Training Standard (2008 edition).

The heightec-PMI™ ScaffPack™ SS Tower Rescue Solution (TRS) was developed in conjunction with Basin Electric, the nation’s largest rural electric cooperative, to affect both the horizontal and vertical rescue of a worker from a high voltage tower. The extra rigging included in the kit can be used to rig a “skate block”, or cross haul, of the subject before raising or lowering them. This kit meets the ANSI Z359.4 2007 standard for rescue.

The classroom session will focus on the importance of establishing a rescue pre-plan, OSHA compliance, PPE use, fit and inspection and rescue theory. Familiarity, avoidance and treatment of the dangers associated with Suspension Intolerance are covered in this course.

The certification for this course is good for two years. All participants who take the course will receive a Certificate of Completion and a photo ID Card.

This is a four day course valid for two years
