| In 2004 we began offering several training courses designed for the professional working outside in the vertical environment on and around manmade structures or natural features including steep terrain, cliffs, or canyons. These courses are intended to exceed formal fall protection training according to OSHA standards, and to supplement your repertoire of skills and knowledge not normally obtained through on the job training.
Suitable for engineers, industry workers, military, and rope access workers, all of our courses emphasize the identification, analysis, avoidance, and mitigation of vertical hazards through observation, evaluation, and practical implementation of a variety of skills and safety systems. Each course is structured to begin with the basics of working at height safety to progress through problem solving exercises during the day. The following courses can be modified to suit your needs, please contact us if you have questions about a special project or goal. See table below for pricing. |
