Tallescope Rescue

This course will be tailored to the venue and show staff how to carry out a rescue from a Tallescope basket in a safe manner. Prior to attending this course the venue must have (or be intending to purchase) the “RB Tallescope Rescue Pack” (rescue pouch, Tallescope reach pole and accessories). It is also recommended that the venue has access to a standard rescue from height pack (however the tutor can bring their own). This is often run with the “Safe use of Tallescope Course” as combined training.
