Preventing the spread of viruses

This is an entry-level course for workers and supervisors who work aloft where traditional fall protection is not sufficient. This may include engineered structures and natural landscapes such as trees. This program is in accordance with the standards of the Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians (SPRAT). This will enable participants to learn basic rope access and rescue techniques. Participants are required to bring their own CSA approved head, eye, hand and foot protection, traffic vest and suitable work clothes. The participant will not be permitted to participate in the course if they do not bring the noted personal protective equipment and tools.
