The course will train the delegate in the skills and techniques necessary to safely rescue a casualty to ground from a variety of different scenarios such as scaffolding, slip form and other work at height platforms. The course will also ensure employers can implement the legal requirements as stated within the Work at Height Regulations 2005 “Work at height must be carefully planned and that such planning must include a rescue plan including actions to be taken in the event of an emergency”.

Successful learners will be awarded an Essential Site Working at Height Rescue Training certificate and ID Card valid for 3 years. (Refresher recommended once a year).
Maintenance of Competence training (MOC) should take place with rescue personnel every 3 months or before to ensure they remain familiar with the equipment and processes; this is in addition to an advised annual refresher. ESS can offer a variety of rescue course packages and/or refreshers to suit your needs.
