Regarding the upcoming Petzl Workshops: “I can speak from experience; the Petzl Solutions Workshops are “fully assembled” with no missing parts.  From start to finish, products and solutions are presented in a professional manner with a high level of energy; Lots of things to cover and not much time to “dilly-dally” around.  I would recommend any of these workshops for any technician.” Lance Piatt, owner Rescue Response Gear.

The next workshop is the Petzl Equipment Management Workshop, August 24-25, 2010. Sign-Up Deadline: July 30, 2010.

Workshop participants will learn Petzl’s recommendations for care, maintenance, and inspection of life safety equipment.
