Wind Turbine Rescue (PDQ)
PDQ Wind Turbine & Tower Rescue Training
In collaboration with Sterling Rope, the PDQ Rescue System was developed to provide a lightweight self-rescue kit for use in tower, wind turbine or other work-at-height environments. Training is delivered in our purpose-built training centers in Reno, NV; Houston, TX; and Ste-Julie, QC.
PDQ training courses can also be provided at alternate facilities, provided they meet the necessary safety requirements. Please contact us if you are interested in hosting a custom course.
Our Team of certified PDQ Instructors bring years of experience working-at-height, versatility in teaching in a variety of settings, and a passion for safety and education.
- W110 – PDQ Competent User Course – This course provides candidates thorough training in the use of the PDQ system for self-rescue as well as the rescue of an injured worker who is suspended by their fall-arrest equipment. Practiced scenarios include rescue of an injured worker who is suspended off the side of a vertical structure, suspended in a fixed ladder, or is incapacitated and needs to be moved through a confined area.
- W210 – PDQ Instructor Course – A rigorous course designed to certify candidates as PDQ Instructors and to deliver the W110- PDQ Competent User Course. Effective teaching techniques along with safety and risk management procedures necessary for delivering group training will be covered.
