Tower Access & Rescue Workshop Level 3 Contract seminar only at your location				Instructor: THORNE
The Tower Access & Rescue Workshop 2 is an intensive "open enrollment" program designed specifically for regular work crews (4 or more) who work (or train others to work) at elevation: Tower or structural workers (crew of more than four) Tower erectors / steel erectors (crew of more than four) Working power transmission linemen (crew of more than four) Supervisors and Foremen Trainers Advanced tower worker rope access and rescue training workshop designed for working employees of tower company or utility (linemen or tower erectors). This hands-on 7 day contract workshop contains ALL training modules from TARW Level 1 and TARW Level 2. Emphasis on patient care both on the ground and while still in the air. See key points below. Workshop includes RTR TARW Level 3 Certification upon satisfactory completion Also extensive section on rescue: SELF RESCUE: 1. Descending from live conductors, boom truck or line equipment COWORKER RESCUE: 2. Lower another person from energized elevation using locked out traveling auto-stop descender 3. Lower another person from energized elevation using fixed auto-stop descender on tower 4. Lower another person from energized elevation using fixed auto-stop descender on ground Overview: Rescue of a) uninjured, b) ill, and c) slightly injured victims from energized lines and bucket trucks. This Level 3 Workshop contains all information and techniques found in the Level 1 & 2 Workshops. Workshop includes RTR Level 3 Certification upon satisfactory completion TARW Level 3 key points: (Bold indicates what is added over Level 2) Safety OSHA law on rescue and climbing Climbing steel Two-point contact principles *Advanced rope access* (controlled descent and advanced ascent) Knotcraft for tower workers Life safety rope and equipment, inspection and care Minimum tower rescue essentials Anchoring principles Self rescue Bucket truck escape Use of existing tower equipment and rope for rescue Electrical power transmission towers and hazards Radio frequency hazards on telecom& radio communication towers Medical considerations & patient assessment Methods of climbing with fall protection: Double lanyard Advance-placed Lead climbing vertical and horizontal *Advanced pulley systems (simple through complex)* Advanced physics lecture: Butt blocks and high directional blocks *Advanced physics of rigging* *Advanced anchoring principles* Rescue options (team or solo) Advanced tracking lines and skate blocks for use in live line rescue Solo rescue; semi solo rescue Patient packaging at elevation Methods of raising—then lowering the victim: Vectoring at elevation In line pulley system at elevation Dynamic fixed brake appliance at elevation Patient packaging while hanging Patient extrication using LSP Halfback® Mid span conductor rescue Ground-based and structure-based tower rescue Conductor cart rescue (option) Live line (bare hand worker) rescue Extreme lowers (extreme antenna towers or river crossing transmission towers) Much more...

				Linemen using a full litter and medical training during an advanced rescue seminar to lower an injured lineman directly from the bundled conductors of a de-energized 500 kv tangent transmission line at the "V" string. This advanced exercise with Salt River Project / Western Area Power Administration (US Dept of Energy) is simulating a line cart accident or other traumatic injury mishap on the conductor. Below, SRP linemen training on one of their 500 KV tangent structures during a Ropes That Rescue 3 day workshop on transmission line rescue. Here, fire department personnel at the exercise work with SRP to remove an injured lineman from the conductor bundle on the outside phase. Photo from conductor by Reed Thorne
