NATE released a video yesterday entitled “Be Your Brother’s Keeper” that focuses on the importance of the planning, procedures, equipment and training necessary to perform a successful tower rescue. The video is part of Volume 3 of the Association’s Climber Connection series.
The video includes an interview with an experienced industry safety instructor walking through a rescue scenario. In the video, he discusses the measures that must be planned for and implemented in order to successfully rescue a technician working on a communications tower. The video also includes live mock demonstrations, highlighting different rescue options and techniques available to trained personnel working at a tower site.
“It is paramount that all tower crews working in the industry receive consistent rescue training and refresher training in accordance with the NATE Tower Climber Training Standard guidelines,” said Denise Frey from D&A Construction Management, Inc. in Branford, CT.
