This course is designed to educate tree climbers in the most likely scenarios where they
may have to respond to an emergency. Emphasis is on emergency preparedness,
readiness and accident prevention. The importance of self-rescue strategies and understanding
the ‘working alone’ definition reinforces the importance of emergency readiness.
Participants are educated in the truths about tree work accidents and fatalities,
information based on arborist statistics and industry reviews provides the basis for the
specific rescue techniques trained and practiced. Participants are educated in key terms
and definitions relating to rope parts, knots, hitches and specialized equipment. Physics
concepts such as reaction force and potential energy associated with various rope rescue
systems and configurations complete this comprehensive course. This course involves
hand’s on rescue opportunities and practice.
