Real-time training digital download videos are now available to the rope rescue community. “We have a powerful line of videos on DVD, but felt that immediate download rescue tips would be useful to clients. Phone apps will be one of our directions for emergency responders en route to a type of rescue they want to brush up on,” says Lance Piatt, President of Rescue Response Gear and Raven Collective Media.

Future projects will include download-able videos for fire service, search and rescue, industrial workers, tower workers, rope access personnel and law enforcement. The sister company, Raven Collective Media, will also be doing videos for other companies and manufacturers in the rescue-rope access industry.

See www.RescueResponse.com for more details. Rescue Response Gear has been in business since 1987 providing gear and assistance to the rescue, fire and rope access industry. Raven Collective Media is a video production offshoot of Rescue Response Gear.

New Tower Rescue Video Trailers Released

Towers serve a number of purposes, including carrying electrical transmission lines and supporting communications networks. The number of towers erected is increasing by the thousands each year (including remote wilderness areas).

Tower rescues can include workers involved with building or maintaining a tower or who have been injured or have suffered a sudden illness. These rescues are hazardous in many ways.

Besides the obvious danger of working at height, towers expose rescuers to hazards they may not normally encounter on the ground. The hazards on an electrical transmission line tower involve not just the transmission lines themselves, but also the minimum air distances (MAD) around those lines. OSHA has published a chart that shows the MAD workers, tools and equipment must be kept clear of different voltage lines (OSHA CPL 2-1.36).

Tower training must begin with the appropriate hazard awareness training. Whether it is awareness training on the hazards of electromagnetic energy/radio frequency (EME/RF) or on the hazards associated with electrical transmission lines, no rescues or trainees should be permitted on an active tower until they have had this training. The initial hands on training should be conducted under the guidance of qualified instructors and training company.

TOWER RESCUE FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES is specifically designed for fire fighters, emergency responders and rope rescue teams; presenting a perspective of rescue training in a way never imagined before.
·Basic to advanced rescue techniques specifically for structural locations.
·Emergency responder patient assessment and stabilization.
·Techniques on how to extricate uninjured (trespassers), ill, or slightly injured patients.
·3-Dimensional angles and perspectives only seen in major motion pictures

Racks… do they still have value in rope rescue operations?

Dec 1

Recently, I have had some interesting conversations with friends (representing numerous avenues of rescue rigging thought), about the usage (or lack of) rescue “racks”. Whether, small mini racks, large “break bar” racks, or anything in between. Issues of safety, standards (NFPA 1670), persona preference (NFPA 1006) and applications all had common interlacing. I can see a trend brewing, but before I comment on them, I would like to ask ya’ll…

Racks… do they still have any value in rope rescue operations? If so, where and when? Given all the statics, product new releases and innovations in techniques, I think this is valid question. What do you think? We’d love some feedback. Future installments of our video projects will reflect the consensus of thought.

(The links provided are not officially the most up to date pieces of information, but are close enough to be considered a solid start).
