Course Overview
Tower Climbing and Rescue Training is designed to enable trainees to work effectively on towers. Training is focused on:
- methods of accessing the work position
- using double hook lanyards
- using fixed ropes or fixed ladders (on communications towers)
- mobility at height
- work positioning methods
- hauling systems
- abseiling techniques
- rescue techniques (single-person and team techniques)
Training is designed to be realistic and customised to suit your particular work situation (e.g. communications towers, energy transmission towers, or chair-lifts). This course is suitable for anyone who has the requirement to access towers or poles of any kind within their work. Successful trainees receive a nationally accredited certificate and ID card.
* Undertaken at our facility in Brisbane, your training will be conducted on real telecommunication tower structure. At our facilities in Sydney and Melbourne, training will be conducted on tower-like structures which allow the same techniques to be taught and assessed. We can also undertake the training at your facility, provided you have adequate training facilities (i.e. a tower, or similar)
