Rope access for emergency services

Audience:
Members of technical rope rescue teams who (futher) want to become proficient in the use of individual movement techniques using ropes.

Description:
This training teaches basic techniques for individual workers using ropes to move on high altitude. One learns climbing and descending with two lines (working line and safety line), moving along knots in the lines, passing anchor points, passing arresters, the use of fall protection device, the use of positioning lines and switching to a new set of ropes. In addition, legislation, material science, partner rescue and basic rescue techniques.

This course is specifically aimed at emergency services and not for technical rope rescue for industrial. Although this shows great similarities to IRATA training their is an important difference, namely that this course only teaches skills that are of interest for emergency services without requiring log hours, where IRATA focuses on technical rope rescue for industrial.

For technical rope rescue team and team members who actually want to perform rescues using ropes this course is a good base or to improve on their individual skills. For a course on team based rescue techniques using tripods, stretchers, horizontal spans, etc we advise you take a look at the technical rope rescue for industrial page.
