NATE AUTHORIZED CLIMBER & RESCUE

This course follows the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) Course Training Standard (CTS – 4^thEdition) for any employee that must access towers and similar structure.  The course is a combination of classroom sessions focused on fall protection theory and practical hands-on exercises for workers using fall protection and rescue equipment in the tower industry. This course is designed for climbers that will be working under the direct supervision of a Competent Climber and who have limited authority and duties in regards to rescue.  It introduces common fall protection tools and methods utilized to protect climbers from the various fall hazards encountered at tower sites with an overview of common equipment used to safely access and navigate tower structure.   The function of each piece of equipment is discussed during interactive classroom sessions, which are followed by extensive hands-on exercises for a complete fall protection learning experience.  The program does not include descent control (see NATE Competent Climber or Gravitec Tower Climber and Rescue) and only a assisted rescue method using a pre-established rescue system is included.
