This course provides candidates with the skill set required for the access and egress of communications tower and mast type structures.  The course involves additional theory to include all aspects of work at height, rescue and the care of casualties that may be suffering from suspension intolerance.

This course is designed to make operatives fully conversant in the operation of the rescue kit and its various modes of use. Our course will enable operatives to use the rescue kit in a variety of locations.
