Working at Heights

Tower Fall Protection and Rescue

People that work on a telecommunications tower, pylon, antenna, or large steel structures are constantly exposed to the risk of falling. When a fall does occur, emergency responders are often too far away from the scene to respond and perform a timely rescue of the victim. Additionally, most haven’t received the training necessary to be able to safely perform a high angle rescue. That’s why it’s critical that workers be well-trained and able to perform a rescue in various situations.

The course starts with the basics, building a solid theoretical foundation. Then we move to our world-class training park, where students are given two full days of practice, including but not limited to, tower climbing, evacuation, and various rescue techniques using the actual equipment that they work with in the field.
