The Tower Awareness Workshop (TAW)is a two day, in-depth orientation on lattice steel and monopole radio and power transmission tower construction, climbing techniques and hazards, for the emergency response agency. This is not a hands on rescue seminar, but is meant instead for the emergency response fire commander or battalion chief in charge of company response to tower-related emergencies. This is the first and only seminar carefully delineating the many hazards associated with energized power transmission lines for fire fighters. 99% of all above ground towers in the US are power lines. This seminar will take away the mystique and uncertainty of sending emergency responders up these dangerous towers during incidents.
