BOOKINGS
This hands-on course develops the practical skills and knowledge required to assess risks, use rigging equipment safely, and climb and perform rescues on telecommunications network structures. It’s ideal for technical staff who work in teams and are required to access towers, poles, guyed masts, silos, or energy infrastructure, or similar structures as part of their role. The course also includes essential knowledge on managing radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation (EMR) hazards.
You'll gain real-world experience in:
- Climbing telecommunications and similar tower-like structures using safe and approved techniques
- Transferring between climbing and working systems using fall prevention methods
- Performing rescues of stranded or injured workers
- Developing core abseiling and rope skills to support both access and rescue operations
This training is highly practical and physically demanding. You must be willing and capable of ascending and descending ropes and operating safely at height.

Working in tight or awkward spaces Accessing and operating safely at heights greater than 3 metres Maintaining sustained physical positions (e.g., kneeling, crouching, or lying prone) during simulated rescue scenarios
It is recommended that participants have prior experience working at heights and are familiar with the use of height safety equipment such as harnesses, lanyards and fall protection systems
Arrive in suitable attire, including comfortable long pants, a long-sleeved shirt and protective footwear with grip, climbing helmet, gloves and worn during the practical sessions and assessment.
Have the foundational skills aligned with the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) at Level 3 including:
Learning: Follow instructions, identify hazards, complete risk assessments, and ask for clarification when needed
Reading: Read and interpret regulations, workplace procedures, signage, and operational instructions related to the scenarios provided and equipment use
Writing: Complete forms, write short notes (such as field notes or incident reports), and clearly record key details from rescue operations
Oral Communication: Communicate clearly and listen carefully when receiving or giving instructions, especially in team-based, noisy, or time-sensitive situations.
Numeracy: Use numbers to support safe working operations, for example, calculating fall clearance distances and interpreting equipment ratings.
Digital Literacy: Able to use a mobile phone or basic device to read messages, follow online instructions, complete online forms or access learning resources.
