Rescue at Height

ABOUT

Industry best practices require that anyone exposed to a fall from height and using a harness have a rescue plan adapted to the workplace.

As dialing 911 is not the fastest option in most cases, the union is offering training on a new rescue method using simple and easy-to-use equipment.

This training is for all members, beginner or advanced, and includes demonstrations and numerous practical exercises in a controlled and safe environment.

OBJECTIVES

• Learn a simple, effective, and safe method for high-angle rescue.
• Analyze workplace environment risks.

More specifically, the following topics will be covered: regulations, the psychology of emergency response, equipment and methodology, communication, etc.

PREREQUISITES

• Already be a member of AQTIS 514 IATSE.
• Have taken the initiation to community life course
• Have taken the fall protection course 

Required Equipment

It is imperative that you bring your harness and helmet. If you have additional equipment (single or Y-lanyards, hooks, positioning lanyards), we recommend bringing those as well.

Given that there will be hands-on practice throughout the course, please come in work attire and closed-toe shoes (safety shoes are recommended).
