It only takes five minutes for the onset of suspension intolerance to change a life forever. Venous pooling, orthostatic intolerance, vascular shock — learn how these devastating conditions affect a fall casualty. We’ll study the science and look at some eye-opening statistics to reveal why a rescue plan is essential for protecting people who work at height.
Explore 3 different recovery systems, discover their suitability and effectiveness for various recovery scenarios and get in depth practical training in the system/s of your choice. We'll also look a the process and frequency of equipment inspection as well as anchorage considerations you will commonly encounter in the field.
By conducting repeated self and assisted recoveries — in vertical and horizontal rigged positions with a variety of fall protection equipment — you'll gain total confidence recovering a fall casualty with your chosen rescue system/s. And to test you can act under pressure we'll do a 5-minute rescue challenge to compete for the fastest, safest recovery.
We provide our own projector, screen, laptop, props, rescue dummy, bags full of rescue gear to deliver both the theory and practical lessons. We just need somewhere to teach. So, if you're booking a course on your site, don't forget to arrange a training room that can hold the appropriate number of people.

Be under no illusions, a damaged or incorrectly worn harness can lead to death, or if you’re truly unlucky, extreme testicular trauma and rectal damage! To prevent such a nauseating fate we’ll take you back to basics, familiarise you with different types of height safety harnesses and their various purposes, teach you how to perform pre-use inspections and then get down to the nuts and bolts of how to don and adjust it. At the end of the module each of you will be provided with your own harness to practise wearing, which will be then be assessed by the instructor to make sure the whole team is competent and con dent before moving on.
