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.

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)
