Communication Tower Climbing and Rescue Training

Tower climbers are on the front lines of the ongoing battle to keep essential communications services available. Every year, technicians are injured or lose their lives while working at heights on towers, buildings, and structures. In almost every case, these accidents happen because those involved did not follow safety guidelines or were using equipment improperly.

Enviro-Tech International’s Level-1 Communication Tower Climbing and Rescue Training program prepares students to be competent climbers and rescuers. The course teaches vital skills and techniques for tower climbers of all experience levels. Our training emphasizes the fundamentals of safe climbing, work positioning, and rescue techniques. With over 40 years of experience in the safety and survival field, our unique approach to tower safety training is a solid investment toward keeping your personnel safe and productive in the vertical world. We also offer Level 2 tower rescue training courses for those who’ve completed Level 1 training.
