Tower One’s Advanced Rigging and Rescue 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. 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 commercially available fall arrest systems. 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. During the rescue portion of the course, students learn how to use several of the industry’s most common rescue devices to include, block and tackle systems, manually operated systems and tower rescue systems. Students will have the opportunity to practice their rescue skills with each rescue system in a controlled environment.
