Tower Climber & Rescue Trainer Refresher
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Gravitec’s Tower Climber & Rescue Trainer Refresher Course provides current Trainers with updated information in fall protection and rescue in order for the trainers to keep delivering professional, in-house fall protection and rescue training. Written and practical tests are administered to ensure that the principles presented in the course are understood. Documentation is available to satisfy your company’s due diligence and regulatory requirements.
It should be noted that our Train-the-Trainer course is only one component of a Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection Program, described in ANSI/ASSE Z359.2. In accordance with this standard, we believe that every job site should have a Program Administrator, Competent Person and Authorized Users.
This course meets the Criteria for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health, and Environmental Training (ANSI/ASSE Z490.1), the highest industry standard for training. It also meets the requirements of ANSI/ASSE Z359.2, Minimum Requirements for a Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection Program, found in the ANSI/ASSE Z359 Fall Protection Code.
Trainers are able to conduct authorized, and competent climber and rescue training according to the NATE Tower Climber Fall Protection Training standard. Gravitec can supply all necessary fall protection equipment for this course.
