A workers suspended in a lanyard only has a few minutes, before suspension trauma can kill them. Most worksites across Canada, do not have large well trained rescue teams, or quick access to a local fire department who can provide rope rescue. As such, they must rely on each other for rescue. This course was created to address that issue. We can customize the course to you industry and complexity. That is why we offer it in the 8, 16 and 24 hour duration.
The course also covers rescue equipment needed, and will look at any equipment that your workers already use.
