Fall Arrest and Basic Rescue Technician Programme
Working at height without proper fall arrest training is one of the leading causes of workplace injury in construction, scaffolding, and industrial environments. The Fall Arrest and Basic Rescue Technician training delivers the essential skills to keep workers safe at height. By blending technical know-how with real-world application, this training ensures participants are ready to work safely, respond effectively, and uphold the highest safety standards in fall-risk environments. Training takes place in Centurion and can also be arranged on-site for groups.
