INTRODUCTION
SpanSet Australia’s Vertical Rescue course is
designed primarily for those people who may be
involved in the emergency response rescue of
fallen workers from cliffs, structures and
towers. This training provides each participant
with the necessary practical skills required to
effectively and safely rescue a suspended or
incapacitated worker in a vertical situation.
“Attached” climbing, lead climbing and
descending of towers, pylons and poles can be
also incorporated in to the course dependant on
client requirements.
Participants will gain an understanding of the
basic use and inspection of equipment used in
vertical rope rescue as well as the necessary
skills required for various rescue techniques,
anchor selection and rigging. Participants will
also gain the knowledge and skills required for
risk assessment, casualty management, first aid
procedures, mechanical advantage and stretcher
operations involved with rope rescue activities.
