Cable Car  & Ski Lift Rescue Training

Designed to address the provisions of the International Standard EN 1909-2004 - "Safety Requirements for Cableway Systems Designed to Carry Persons: Recovery and Evacuation", this course is largely unique in Australiasia.

The course is aimed specifically at rescue teams, ski patrollers, ropeway technicians and constructors and is run on site at the student's place of work.  The course identifies such key areas as:-

• rescuer egress techniques (rappel and cable recovery).

We also identify associated subjects including:-
