Custom courses can be designed for specific applications such as buildings, dams, bridges, towers, amusement park rides and pipelines. This introductory course allows you and your staff to learn the fall protection rescue fundamentals that apply to your particular job description and to practice these techniques in real life situations.

WHAT TO BRING: You must bring your personal fall protection harness with you to every class session. Doing so will provide the opportunity to learn how to properly wear your personal gear in addition to performing all the required inspections.  If your Company has other equipment you'd like to bring to class, it can be inspected as well (i.e. lifelines, lanyards, anchorages, etc.)  Bringing in some of your own gear to class will provide you with practical experience using your own equipment.
