At PMI’s Vertical Rescue Solutions, we offer unparalleled custom instruction in tower climbing and rescue.

Schedule in progress
This course uses a common-sense approach to rescue and stresses simplicity to minimize the time between a fall and the subsequent rescue. The TowerPack™ Rescue Solution is designed to get the job done using a minimal amount of gear, so it is easier to rig and provides less opportunity for failure when quick action is needed.
The classroom session of the Competent Tower Climber/Rescuer course will focus on the importance of establishing a rescue pre-plan, OSHA compliance, PPE use, fit, and inspection, Jobsite Hazard Analysis, and rescue theory. Suspension intolerance avoidance and treatment will also be addressed.
The field portion will teach the importance of 100% attachment, safe climbing techniques, fall arrest, self-rescue, and companion rescues by raise, by controlled descent, and by lowering using the TowerPack™ Rescue Solution. We emphasize repetition when learning the skills in order to make it feel more like a second nature than reading a manual when performing a rescue. This practice helps students understand the techniques and improves their retention.
