Why Training for Vertical Rescue in Brisbane is Necessary
Emergences can’t be predicted and accidents sometimes happen in the most awkward of places. These apply to people who work at height and so occur in high locations that are difficult to access.
Our vertical rescue course in Brisbane will provide the necessary training to deal with these tricky situations. It’s intended for members of emergency response teams and anyone who’s likely to be required to respond to workplace incidents in high places. Read More
Vertical Rescue Course Content & Features
Undertaking rescues at height isn’t something that everyone can accomplish and so our Brisbane’s vertical rescue training course will provide the necessary skills and knowledge. It covers:
- software and hardware knowledge for all the equipment you will use
- a description of the compliance requirements for access and fall arrest systems plus other equipment so you can stay legal
- the effective use of knots and hitches for safe rescue
- how to use anchor systems and points
- dealing with suspension trauma
- line ascension and rappelling skills, abseiling and, optionally, climbing skills, belay systems, decline traverses and Tyrolean traverses
- using lowering and raising systems
- how to prepare for, perform and successfully conclude a vertical rescue
- ethos and ideals for rescue teams
- handling patients and escorting stretchers
- the roles and responsibilities of team leaders and safety officers.
Since working at height occurs in various types of industries and each can differ, we can customise each group vertical rescue course in Brisbane so it is entirely appropriate for your particular location. This ensures everyone receives exactly the training they need.
Appropriate Vertical Rescue Training across 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 —
