• Rescue techniques (self-rescue and "pick-off" techniques)

On completion of this course the participant will be issued with a Statement of Attainment:

• PUAEME001 - Provide emergency care 

• PUAFIR210 - Prevent injury

Training is designed to be realistic and customised to suit your particular work situation (e.g. communications towers, energy transmission towers, or chair-lifts). This course is suitable for anyone who has the requirement to access rigs, towers or poles of any kind within their work.
