Workplace Safety Classes

Horizontal Rescue Systems

In order to be trained to the level of NFPA 1006 2021 5.3.6, Rope Rescue Technicians are required to be able to "move a suspended rescue load along a horizontal path." This class has been designed to help you build and enhance your skills in this area.   This 16-hour two-day class will start with a short classroom session to explain the rigging principles involved. The rest of the class time consists of practical, hands-on evolutions. Evolutions to be covered include cross hauls, high-angle offsets, skateblocks and highlines. Winches and all three types of mechanical advantage systems (simple, compound, and complex) will be utilized to complete evolutions. Both types of "reeved" highline systems will be covered (both English and Norwegian). Overviews and usage of SKED and Arizona Vortex Tripods will be included in the skills performed. All equipment is provided
