Height rescue training is paramount for Sydney and NSW businesses and organisations. It provides workers who operate at heights with the necessary knowledge and skills required to safely conduct an emergency rescue of a fallen colleague. This training responds to a very real and present risk across many industries, and can be the difference between saving or losing lives.
About Sydney Safety Height Rescue Training
A person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) who implements a fall-arrest system as a measure to control risk must establish emergency rescue from heights procedures.
The procedures must be tested so that they are effective. Workplaces must provide all PCBUS with suitable and adequate information, instruction and training about the emergency procedures. Our Sydney Safety vertical training courses cover all these needs, ensuring you remain workplace-compliant.
Our one-day programme is designed tocomplement the Safe Work at Heights course, where you were instructed regarding the need for a rescue system, and should have either participated or observed an overhead rescue take place.
On this course, we provide you with training in numerous heights rescue systems. You will physically participate in practical rescue scenarios using each of these systems. By the end of the day, you will be competent to implement a heights safety rescue procedure on your work site.
Typical rescue scenarios:
- EWP Self Rescue using an AUTO descender system
- OVERHEAD rescue using a GOTCHA & ROLLGLISS rescue kits
- POLE TOP rescue, using a Gotcha Pole Top Rescue Kit
In addition to these scenarios, we must assume that the person you have rescued has suffered an injury, in which case you must also be able to perform First Aid and CPR at the scene.
