Rescue colleagues in distress!
HOW TO RESCUE AT HEIGHT WITH ROPES?
During work at height you are inevitably exposed to a possible fall.
With a safety device, in the event of a fall you end up immobilised, hanging in your harness. If you are unconscious, a life-threatening shock develops within a few minutes, also known as harness suspension trauma or suspension trauma .
In this training you learn, as a first responder, how to free a colleague in distress and how to handle the victim.
