The reaction to emergencies can be a life or death situation. That's why this course is vital to any utility worker. Our Pole Top and Bucket Truck Rescue Verification of Skills training covers the latest updates, standards and verifies that the proper skills are being used in these life saving situations and that every worker is fully equipped to save another persons life.
This course will verify the actual Hands-On experience for both pole top and bucket truck rescue operations for each attendee that requires dynamic action. The rigging, lifting, and lowering skills necessary to get the victim down from elevated heights must be trained and practiced continually throughout the year.
