HEIGHTEC MAKING HEIGHT SAFETY SAFER
In 1997 the training division of Heightec – The National Access and Rescue Centre was established with the launch of their flagship training centre at their headquarters in Kendal (Cumbria). Since then they have developed a national network of specialist height safety centres, providing competence based height safety and rescue training to professionals in the work at height industry.
ABERDEEN The Aberdeen centre, launched in 2008, is one of five purpose built height safety centres offering a comprehensive range of training courses for work restraint, work positioning, fall arrest and rescue.
SPECIALLY DESIGNED APPARATUS The Aberdeen centre has specially designed training apparatus replicating realistic work situations, and is dedicated to the offshore oil and gas, renewable and energy sectors providing courses such as IRATA rope access, telecoms rigging and confined space training.
GLOBAL WIND ORGANISATION & RENEWABLEUK JOINT APPROVAL FOR WIND TURBINE SAFETY TRAINING Heightec are also pleased to announce that, following a recent SGS RUK audit, they now have joint approval from the RenewableUK (RUK) and Global Wind Organisation (GWO) for the delivery of work at height safety training.
As a leading provider of RUK work at height and rescue training for wind turbines, Heightec is the first specialist training provider able to offer joint certification for both awarding bodies. This means wind turbine personnel who require height safety training to work onshore and offshore can now attend a single course at Heightec and comply with both standards. “This offers a significant cost and time saving benefit to our customers. We can now train personnel to a recognised industry standard and issue joint RUK and GWO certification that will be accepted by the major wind turbine operators worldwide.” said Chris Ware, Training Manager at Heightec.
NEW TOWER The recent addition of a new 18m tower to their Aberdeen Height Safety Centre means the joint certification training course is now also available to clients all along the East Coast of Scotland. This tower also gives them the ability to run telecoms training courses in access, rescue and rigging.
