Our Safety Harness - Work At Height Rescue Course provides delegates
with the knowledge, confidence and competence to safely perform the remote
rescue and retrieval of a suspended casualty after an arrested fall at height,
using commonly available rescue systems. The course contains all theory modules from our Safety Harness Essentials Course, and is also IPAF-Approved.
Delegates will also receive hands-on familiarisation
training using both ascent and descent rescue systems, as well as controlled
descent devices, in line with current relevant legislation. This is completed
through a live practical session on our purpose-built indoor scaffolding frame
- simulating a realistic, real-world rescue scenario within a safe and controlled
environment.
This course consists of a training room lecture, presentation,
a multiple-choice assessment paper, practical exercises, and a practical
assessment.
