Event Description
The Work at Height Rescue course at Waco Training Academy provides specialised training designed to equip participants with the advanced skills and practical techniques required to perform safe and effective rescue operations at heights.
Building on foundational working‑at‑height knowledge, this programme focuses on planning, executing, and managing rescue scenarios involving individuals who are incapacitated or in distress while positioned above ground level.
Throughout the course, learners will explore critical rescue principles including risk assessment, rescue system selection, anchor and rigging considerations, casualty packaging, safe lowering techniques, and emergency response procedures.
Emphasis is placed on hands‑on practice, hazard recognition, team coordination, and the correct use of rescue‑specific equipment to ensure that participants can confidently respond to height‑related emergencies.
This training is ideal for safety personnel, rescue teams, supervisors, and anyone responsible for developing or performing work‑at‑height rescue operations within their organisation.
Upon successful completion, participants will be better prepared to implement effective rescue strategies, protect lives, and support safer work‑at‑height environments.
