Industrial Rescue After a Fall (TowerPack™ Component)

Working at height is one of the most dangerous jobs in America. Whether you are a lineman keeping the electricity flowing, a wind-turbine maintenance technician keeping the blades turning, a cell tower worker or a stage rigger who makes sure the show can go on, the possibility of having to rescue either yourself or one of your coworkers is a daily reality.

At VRS™, we offer unparalleled custom instruction on Rescue After a Fall. This course was created to arm those who work at height with the tools, knowledge and expertise to effect self or companion rescue quickly and safely using the revolutionary heightec-PMI™ TowerPack™ Rescue Solution (ANSI Z359.4-2007). Stressing simplicity (No knots!) and a common-sense approach to rescue, the TowerPack™ Rescue Solution is designed to get the job done using a minimal amount of gear, thereby eliminating the head-scratching that can waste valuable seconds.
This course also meets the criteria established by the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) Tower Climber Fall Protection Training Standard (2008 edition).
The classroom session will focus on the importance of establishing a rescue pre-plan, OSHA compliance, PPE use, fit, inspection and rescue theory.

The field portion of the TowerPack™ Technical Rescuer Course will teach Self-Rescue, Companion Rescue by Raise, Companion Rescue by Controlled Descent and Companion Rescue by Lowering using the heightec-PMI™ TowerPack™ Rescue Solution. Suspension Intolerance avoidance and treatment will also be addressed.

A strong emphasis on multiple repetitions of rescues is used to maintain a high level of participant retention.

This is a three day course valid for two years
