TOWER CLIMBING & RESCUE TRAINING

	Employers are required to provide expedient rescue for employees that work at height. Skala tower rescue courses empower tower climbers and professional rescuers with the tools and knowledge to rescue incapacitated personnel efficiently and safely. Tower Climbing & Rescue Course (2 days) $500 This course begins with a review of modern fall protection and climbing techniques for towers, and then builds on these techniques with simple and effective rescue procedures. The course is appropriate for lineman, tower maintenance personnel, and firefighters with a range of prior experience. Low student-to-instructor ratios and appropriate splits allow us to customize the curriculum to individual needs.
