A little bit of planning can save a whole lot of time – especially when it comes to preplanning for rescue or self-rescue. For example, with minimal workforce and remote locations, it’s imperative to pre-rig rescue systems prior to the start of any work at height. Many emergency response agencies that respond to remote locations are simply not trained or equipped to respond to the kinds of rescues encountered by utility workers.
This 16-hour course is focused on emergency lowering procedures from the top of transformers, especially in remote locations where there is a limited 911 response. Ensure your personnel are prepared to take immediate action should the need arise.

Developed specifically for erectors and workers who maintain modern wind turbine towers, this course focuses on safe, efficient tower techniques using pre-engineered and component rescue systems. Participants will learn practical skills along with the proper use of equipment to provide rescue capabilities anywhere inside the mono tube as well as from the inter-decks, yaw-deck and ladders. Techniques for rescuing harnessed victims as well as those that require packaging in a litter will be taught during this course. Participants will also have the opportunity to practice their newly learned skills in realistic problem-solving exercises that include rescue from both inside and atop the nacelle and hub.

30 HRS / THREE 10-HR DAYS
This 30-hour course is designed for tower workers or emergency responders who may be called to tower incidents. The latest standards, such as NATE CTS, ANSI Z359.4, and OSHA, will be used to guide safe work practices at height taught during this class. The training will emphasize safe and efficient tower rescue operations, using modern techniques and equipment that can be used during planned work activities and then double as components of the tower rescue system.

16 HRS / TWO 8-HR DAYS
Focusing on current OSHA and ANSI requirements, this course will provide the knowledge and skills for establishing or improving a worksite’s comprehensive fall protection program. Trained as Competent Persons for Fall Protection, participants will receive practical experience in recognizing fall hazards and developing appropriate measures for reducing or eliminating these hazards. Detailed preplan forms will be used to guide participants through the process of evaluation and preparing for fall hazards in the workplace. This will include Roco’s “Fall Hazard Survey,” which identifies fall hazards and uses the “hierarchy of fall protection” to provide the most protective and feasible solutions.
Roco’s “Suspended Worker Rescue Preplan” will be covered in a live field exercise as well as demonstrations and practice rescues utilizing pre-engineered rescue systems. Participants will be exposed to a variety of modern fall protection equipment and receive guidance in selecting the proper equipment for greatest safety and efficiency.

“ANSI Z359 as well as OSHA 1926.502(d)(20) require employers to provide the prompt rescue of employees in the event of a fall, or assure that employees are able to perform self-rescue.”
Roco’s Rescue From Fall Protection training is designed for safety and simplicity while minimizing exposure to the rescuer. This 20-hour course will train workers for safe and effective “self-rescue” when possible and prepare them for “assisted rescue” when required. The course includes hands-on techniques for rescuing a co-worker who is suspended from a personal fall arrest system (PFAS). Team rescue operations will be presented in order to prevent or minimize suspension trauma hazards for fallen workers. Special emphasis will be placed on self-rescue, assisted rescue, line transfers, descent control systems, lowering techniques, haul systems, and the hazards of suspension trauma. Safe, simple techniques will be used along with the latest and most effective equipment. Pros and cons of the various systems will be thoroughly covered.

24 HRS / THREE 8-HR DAYS
This 24-hour course is designed for workers who are required to employ safe work practices in the vertical environment. It incorporates lightweight, versatile, and safety-proven techniques and equipment to access to areas of work that would be infeasible using traditional methods such as scaffolds, man-lifts, or swing stages. State-of-the-art descent control and vertical ascent equipment and techniques are used to provide OSHA-compliant work positioning systems that are always backed up by a redundant fall arrest system.
