ADVANCED RESCUE
This course is designed and intended for participants to learn several rescue techniques to remove a fallen worker from fall arrest systems. Participants in the course are likely part of a group, shift or crew of workers who work at heights who may be participating in rescue events for each other. This course focuses on the use of commercially available rescue systems (Automatic Descent Control Devices, Block and Tackles, RSRL’s, Rope Descent Systems, Extension Poles, etc.) and the various ways that each system can be used to rescue a suspended co-worker.
INDUSTRIAL RESCUE
Gravitec’s Industrial Rescue Course introduces participants to industrial rescue methods and emphasizes a planned approach to rescue where the acceptable rescue methods are determined in advance. Safety of the rescue team is considered before the rescue begins and stressed throughout the program. Classroom sessions are part of the curriculum but they are not the focus of this course.
