Vertical Rescue Solutions (VRS), a division of Beal-PMI®, is entering a new stage that continues our original mission to support trainers, safety professionals, and the wider vertical community. 

Founded in 2009, VRS was created to serve as a knowledge and resource hub for those who work at height. Our Train-the-Trainer programs and study materials have helped many professionals become certified vertical specialists and improve safety standards across the industry. Over time, VRS also made online theory classes, training curriculums, and study materials available to the PMI Certified Trainer network. 

With a growing number of well qualified trainers in the industry, VRS is excited to now expand on our original mission by maintaining a prime training facility with advanced structures and professional equipment. Beal-PMI is opening this facility for collaboration with trusted training organizations and professionals who share our commitment to safety and education. The first collaboration begins with ENSA, a respected name in safety training and a long-time partner of PMI, chosen for their credibility and shared values. 

“ENSA is excited to collaborate with PMI in Denver to continue using the existing facility for safety and technical training, ensuring the location remains an active part of supporting the industry workforce,” said Maureen Solenberg Director of Operations ENSA. 

Since 2010 , PMI’s Denver Training Facility has hosted professionals and organizations from fire departments, tower companies, and research teams, as well as students and community members, through programs such as Open Ropes Night. This new collaborative direction will continue that legacy and create more opportunities for trainers and safety professionals to work together. 

VRS continues to develop new resources and programs to connect everyone involved in work at height, from trainers and administrators to field technicians, engineers, and rescue teams. The mission is to bring these groups together, share knowledge, and strengthen the community that keeps people safe above the ground. 

“VRS was created to connect people and share knowledge,” said Loui McCurley, CEO of Beal-PMI, Inc. “Opening our facility to collaboration keeps that spirit alive and expands opportunities for professionals to train, teach, and grow together.” 

PMI and VRS remain fully committed to supporting safety education and professional development in the vertical environment. VRS continues to grow and improve to help more people gain access to quality training and reliable information.
