We invest in our people
We invest in our people and require all new hires to complete a rigorous in-house safety and training certification program prior to stepping foot on a customer’s site. There are pass/fail components to these courses, ensuring we protect the future safety of our employees. Once onboarded, our employees participate in continuous and ongoing training.
Our instructors train according to GWO standards (BST, BTT, CoHE, ART, SLS). Course contents span from basic safety (including First Aid, CPR, AED) to advanced topics like (3-phase electricity and advanced rescues from confined spaces). They can train on all major makes and models of tower rescue and emergency descent devices.
