Trench Rescue
About 100 people each year die in trenching accidents. Thousands more are injured. Our Trench Rescue training teaches students how to respond safely to these emergencies.
Rigging Physics for Rope Rescue
This two-day course gives participants a working foundation of the basic physical principles that govern rope rescue systems. These principles include friction, tension, compression, arresting force, and force multipliers.
Once these principles are understood, a variety of rigging systems will be evaluated with a specific emphasis on identifying and managing force multipliers which can undermine the integrity and safety of rescue and rope access rigging.
Rope Access for the Fire Service
Five-day course that teaches rescuers how to identify practices and rigging systems that might be useful in specialized rescue situations.
Rope Access for Rescuers
This class will teach students the standards governing rope access and give them an understanding of basic rope access techniques.
Fall Protection Rescue
This course teaches students how to retrieve workers who have fallen from elevated work locations and are suspended from personal fall arrest systems.
REMS/Wilderness Rope Rescue
This four-day course provides rope rescue skills that address advanced rigging requirements typically needed for both REMS (Rapid Extraction Module Support) and wilderness search and rescue.
Rigging in wilderness locations demands a greater knowledge of the use of natural anchors and advanced rope skills. Systems may need to be set up and operated with minimal equipment and manpower under extreme environmental conditions.
Wind Turbine Rescue
Wind Turbine Rescue training teaches students how to perform organized, systematic rescues from wind turbines.
Industrial Rescue Management
Managers, supervisors, and team leaders are often tasked with determining: 1) whether a technical rescue capability is needed at their location and, 2) the required level of rescue capability the team should have.
This eight-hour workshop will ensure the students have the ability to make that determination.
Confined Space Rescue
Confined space rescue training teaches students how to conduct rescues in their location's permit-required confined spaces.
Tower Rescue
This course teaches students how to perform organized, systematic rescues from a variety of towers including wind turbines, radio, radar, microwave, electrical, transmission, water, and lighting structures.
Surface Mine Rescue
This course provides rescue teams with the rope skills and techniques needed to operate efficiently and safely in these unique, high-hazard Surface Mine environments.
