Tower Crane Rescue Training
In a time sensitive emergency, the combination of varied crane configurations, cab designs, plus uncertain availability of public responders adds up to just one thing:it’s the responsibility of on-scene personnel to save the life of the tower crane worker.
This tower crane rescue course concentrates on the various uses and applications of self-rescue and assisted rescue equipment. The greater portion of the class is held on an elevated structure that pertains specifically to the tower crane industry. After becoming comfortable with the simple processes used with the ARK® and the SRK-11® (ANSI standards) or SRK-15® (CE standards), students will perform and participate in several simulated crane rescue scenarios.

I’ve never had this type of training. It made me think about situations that I had not thought of before and the importance of having a plan in place. The kits are very well thought out in terms of compatibility and versatility. Overall I was very impressed.”
