Tower Climbing Safety & Rescue Courses

A N.A.T.E. Guideline Compliant Fall Protection Training Course

OSHA specifies that if you have employees who climb higher than six feet they must be trained and certified in fall protection. If they are not certified, they must be under direct on-site supervision of a certified individual, and climb 100% attached. Is your company in compliance? Through the Antenna & Tower Training Center, Safety One has developed an incredible training program that will make your employees competent and your company compliant. We teach using proven and unforgettable applications which enable our students to recall rescue techniques so they can use them in a crisis, when it can make a difference!

Our comprehensive safety and rescue classes are eight-to-ten hours and are designed for men and woman who need fall protection, antenna & tower climbing, or safety and rescue training. We offer an effective balance between classroom instruction and hands-on tower climbing safety, and practical rescue scenarios. A substantial portion of our safety training covers OSHA certification topics such as: OSHA safety requirements, the physics of falls, personal protective safety equipment, fall protection safety concepts and equipment, treatment of frequently encountered tower injuries, documentation, along with solo and small group rescue deployment and safety options.
