  • ethos and ideals for rescue teams
  • handling patients and escorting stretchers

Since working at height occurs in various types of industries and each can differ, we can customise each group vertical rescue course so it is entirely appropriate for your particular location. This ensures everyone receives exactly the training they need.

Appropriate Vertical Rescue Training in Brisbane for Suitable People

Climbing ropes and undertaking rescues at height is not something everyone can accomplish. Accordingly, only people who are suitable for the tasks should attend our course. They need to:

  • have a good level of fitness because a proportion of the training involves very physical activities — climbing ropes and towers, for example
  • have a good head for heights since some periods will be spent on ropes and hanging in harnesses
  • be strong enough to climb ropes and lift heavy weights
  • have some knowledge of safety and rescue, such as basic first aid, the ability to conduct risk assessments and to identify risk hazards
  • be appropriately attired, with long trousers, long sleeves and full shoes
  • have sufficient language, literacy and numeracy skills to be able to understand and complete the course successfully.

We will provide all the equipment required for the course, including ropes, harnesses, ascenders and descenders. Participants can, however, bring their own equipment if they are familiar with it and will feel more comfortable.

Successful attendees will receive a Statement of Attainment —

PUASAR032 – Undertake Vertical Rescue

PUASAR022 – Participate In A Rescue Operation

RIIWHS204E – Work Safely at Heights. This is nationally recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework.

The course is provided by experienced instructors from our registered training organisation and is designed to be relevant for many industries where working at height is necessary. It will cover many theoretical and practical scenarios that will equip all participants with the skills and knowledge to undertake vertical rescues, quickly, efficiently and with minimum risk.
