The course is led by industry-experienced climbers and includes practice on training towers that simulate a variety of work at heights scenarios. Site-specific customization is available to meet a wide array of field scenarios.
MSA’s Rescue Planning course is broadly designed to meet the needs of fall protection program managers and site rescuers alike. With its basis in ANSI / ASSE Z359.2 – 2017 “Minimum Requirements for a Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection Program,” this class begins by laying out established best practices for a work at heights program, and includes a major focus on the responsibilities of “Competent” and “Authorized Rescuers.”
Special emphasis is placed on skill and knowledge requirements outlined by ANSI as well as rescue procedure development and training requirements for key personnel.
A significant portion of the class day is dedicated to hands-on practice utilizing common rescue products from throughout the fall protection market that will meet a wide variety of rescue needs.

It was a horrific workplace tragedy that led to the creation of MSA, the worldwide leader in worker protection and safety product innovation. On the morning of March 26, 1912, the Jed Mine in West Virginia exploded. In a flash, methane gas ignited and more than 80 miners lost their lives.
From this tragedy, mine engineer John T. Ryan Sr. had an epiphany: “If I could spend my life doing what I can to lessen the likelihood of the occurrence of such terrible disasters, I shall feel in the end that my life had been well spent.”
Ryan recruited colleague George H. Deike to help realize his vision for a new company. Recognizing the critical importance of dependable, safe mining equipment, they went straight to one of the country’s great thinkers: Thomas Edison.
The brilliant inventor helped Ryan and Deike create the electric cap lamp which, over the next 25 years, reduced mine explosions by an astounding 75 percent. Of all his inventions, this was the one that did the most for humanity, Edison would later say in life.
In the decades that have come and gone, MSA has continued to lead the charge for workplace safety. We’ve led the way with small first-aid kits and portable methane detectors, and harnessed new technologies to produce state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras, ballistic helmets, and leading edge systems for gas and flame detection.
But we’ve never forgotten where we came from, or why we’re here. We’re called The Safety Company for a reason – a very important reason: Our goal, every single day, is to provide our customers with dependable, high-quality products, instruments, and service to help ensure a safe return home at the end of each work day.
The course focuses on self-propelled elevated work platforms (scissor lifts) and self-propelled boom supported elevated work platforms (boom lifts).
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to identify and fight off behavioural-based management approaches and establish real prevention programs that identify, assess and control hazards. No Expiry.
Working At Heights Training course is offered Davis Trainincentre. Davis Training is pleased to offer Master Safety’s Working at Heights Training Programs – CPO approved (WAH-35084).
This full-day program is designed for workers in the Ontario construction industry and covers all of the required training under Ontario Regulation 213/91 (Construction Projects).
The goal of this course is to enable learners to identify the basic types of aerial and scissor lifts and the hazards associated with their use, as well as their inspection criteria, and safe work practices associated with aerial lift operation.
