Heights Rescue – Platform Evacuation
A half-day program for anyone who may have to get down from an elevated work platform in an emergency. Most rescue training deals with retrieving a worker who is already suspended. This one addresses a different problem: the platform itself has become unsafe and the people on it need to come down. The course covers planning and scene assessment, then works through automatic, manual and harness-pack descent systems in two hands-on skills workshops. 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.
