Heights Rescue – Platform Evacuation (1.5 days, prerequisite included)
Platform Evacuation with the fall protection prerequisite built in — one booking, no need to arrange the prerequisite separately. 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. The second half-day is Heights Rescue – Platform Evacuation: descent systems and self-rescue, with two hands-on 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.
