Transmission Tower Rescue for Linemen

This Seminar covers the many aspects of tower rescue AS IT APPLIES TO LINEMEN.  RescueRig is an advocate of linemen being capable of rescuing their own.  Energized towers to train on or even perform a rescue on is strictly a function of qualified employees/journeyman linemen.  Therefore the major focus of this seminar is on workmate rescue and self-rescue.  The rope systems incorporated by RescueRig are simple and intended for a safe and rapid extrication of the victim. Towers are not unlike a confined space; they have limited means of access and egress; they have a very limited work space, their not intended for continuous human occupancy, and they always contain something hazardous.  The fact is; tower rescues are simply the most challenging event linemen may be called upon to perform.

The three basic areas of focus for this seminar are:

Incident Management - Linemen typically have great work related rigging skills, but they lack formal understanding of command and control associated with the fire/rescue response that will ultimately arrive to the scene of a potential emergency.  This segment of this course will give the power company a fuller understanding of this process and promote a greater working relationship with the local rescue response.

Equipment Analysis - Can typical everyday rigging tools used by linemen be used for workmate rescue?  We will look at, investigate, test, and compare what is appropriate rescue use of the linemen's tools, what is not, and what equipment needs to be obtained.

Extrication Systems - including systems that minimize personnel on the structure, allow for rapid setup, and facilitate the need for horizontal movement in a calculated, controlled manner.
