Heights Evacuation – Highbay, MEWPS (Escape Systems)

Critical safety goes beyond prevention—it’s about having a tested plan when an emergency strikes in an elevated and remote location.

You will gain the vital skills to correctly choose anchor points, rapidly deploy a proprietary Rescue Kit, and descend safely to the ground using a Controlled Rate Descender (CRD) or similar Escape System. By certifying your team in these immediate, life-saving procedures, you ensure compliance with Work at Height Regulations and guarantee that workers can manage emergencies in a safe and timely manner.
