Height Rescue – Authorized Rescuer (2 days, prerequisite included)

Day one is Fall Protection Authorized Person Comprehensive: working safely at height, common fall protection systems, and how to select, inspect and set them up. Day two is Height Rescue – Authorized Rescuer: industrial rescue fundamentals and retrieving a worker suspended in a fall arrest system, taught largely through hands-on rescue workshops. Participants finish with both credentials. 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.
