About the Course
Filmed on location at Vertical Rescue Solutions (VRS) headquarters and the various towers in the mountainous areas of Colorado’s Front Range, we caught up with Tom Wood to learn all about industrial rescue after a fall. Although this course was presented by Vertical Rescue Solutions for the PMI TowerPack™ and its use, the concept for work at height professionals cannot be over-emphasized.

This course was very informative. We will be looking into the TowerPack system to add to our trucks now.
