Height Rescue – Authorized Rescuer
A full day on the fundamentals of industrial rescue and the techniques used to retrieve a worker suspended in a fall arrest system. A worker hanging in a harness is on a clock. This course trains the people who will assist in that retrieval, working under a competent rescue leader — how the rescue is planned, what the equipment does, and how the retrieval is actually performed. Most of the day is spent in hands-on rescue skills workshops rather than in a classroom. Delivered at your site. You provide access to a tower, platform or working-at-height area suitable for the practical work — we confirm suitability with you before the date.
