RELATED COURSES BY VERTICAL RESCUE SOLUTIONS TOWER RESCUE FOR THE


PROFES SIONAL RESCUER Even in the very best of scenarios, tower rescue for the professional can be a daunting task. The dangers of extreme height, high voltage, microwave radiation, radio frequency exposure and gusting winds make tower rescue one of the toughest calls the professional rescuer deals with. And with the number of tower erections skyrocketing (there are currently about 200,000 cell sites in the US and the number is expected to nearly double in the next five years, according to The Wireless Estimator), the likelihood of a tower rescue in your department’s response area increases almost daily. This course uses the curriculum established by the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE®


) for


Competent Person Climbing and goes one step further by teaching small team tower rescue techniques to the professional rescuer, per NFPA 1670.


WHAT YOU LEARN:


At VRS™, we know there is more to tower rescue than just good rigging. Safe climbing techniques, tower-type identification, lockout/tagout procedures and Radio Frequency (RF) exposure all go hand in hand with these challenging rescues. This course will also familiarize the student with some of the tools and techniques unique to tower work and rescue.

RESCUER At VRS™


TowerTek™ Rescue


Solution is designed to get the job done using a minimal amount of gear, thereby eliminating the head scratching that can waste valuable seconds.


This course was created to arm those who work at height with the tools, knowledge and expertise to climb safely, and to affect self or companion rescue quickly and efficiently using the revolutionary PMI®


TowerTek™ Solution (ANSI Z359.4-2007).


This course meets the criteria established by the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE®


)


Tower Climber Fall Protection Training Standard (2008 edition). The classroom session will focus on the importance of establishing a rescue pre-plan, OSHA compliance, PPE use, fit and inspection and rescue theory. A strong emphasis on multiple repetitions of rescues is used to maintain a high level of participant retention. Suspension Intolerance avoidance and treatment will also be addressed.

The field portion of the Competent Tower Climber/ Rescuer course will teach Self-Rescue, Raising, Rescue by Lower and Rescue by Descent using the PMI®


TowerTek™ 3 Days SOLUT IONS AND KI T S Rescue Solution. Rescue TOWERTEK™ TRAIN THE TRAINER

Rescue Solution for a variety of


scenarios, emphasizing effective approaches to sharing this information with future students. Self-rescue, companion rescue by controlled descent, companion rescue by lowering, and familiarization with the dangers of suspension intolerance are covered.


Upon completion, participants in this course will receive a certificate, reproducible course material and photo ID. They will also be listed on the VRS™
