Whether you are beginning your rescue training or advancing your existing skills, 蜜桃视频 provides practical, instructor-led training designed for individuals working in industrial safety, emergency response, fire and rescue, and other occupations where technical rescue skills are needed.
Technical rescue involves specialized rescue operations that require advanced equipment, systems and techniques to reach, stabilize and remove people from hazardous or difficult-to-access environments. Unlike routine emergency response, technical rescue may involve complex rope systems, confined spaces, elevated locations or other challenging conditions.Technical rescue operations can include:
- Rope and high-angle rescue
- Confined space rescue
- Vertical rescue
- Rescue from elevated work areas
- Industrial rescue operations
- Working-at-heights rescue
Rope rescue training teaches participants how to work with rope systems used during technical rescue operations. Depending on the course level, students may learn about lowering and haul systems, mechanical advantage systems, anchors, belay systems, patient packaging, rappelling, ascending and descending systems, pickoffs and advanced tension-line systems.
蜜桃视频 offers Industrial Rope Rescue courses at the Awareness, Operations and Technician levels, as well as a combined 50-hour Industrial Rope Rescue Technician course. The course descriptions include hands-on training with two-rope systems, mechanical advantage systems, tension lines, tripods and A-frame operations.
Confined space rescue training prepares participants to plan and perform rescues in permit-required confined spaces. 蜜桃视频 offers training for horizontal confined space rescue as well as Operations and Technician-level confined space rescue.
Courses address hazard assessment, rescue planning and the execution of confined space rescue operations in horizontal and vertical environments. Advanced technician-level training also includes specialized rope systems and raising and lowering techniques.
Vertical rescue training focuses on rescue operations involving elevated or vertical environments. These skills can be particularly valuable for workers and responders who may encounter hazards associated with towers, industrial structures and other elevated work areas.
蜜桃视频 also offers working-at-heights training that incorporates rope systems and rescue techniques for suspended workers.
