Work at Height Rescue Training
Work at heightrefers to any work activity where there is a potential risk of a person falling a distance that can cause injury. This includes tasks on ladders, scaffolds, platforms, roofs, or even next to open edges.
Rescue in the context of working at heights refers to the procedures and techniques used to safely retrieve a person who has fallen and is suspended in a harness or is stranded at height without a safe way down. The need for a prompt and efficient rescue becomes imperative, as prolonged suspension can lead to serious health complications, known as suspension trauma.
