This course can be added to our 2 Day Basic class when there are 5 Non-Climber students needing this training. The class requires and extra Comtrain Instructor at the tower and extra space in the classroom.

The course was created for individuals that are exposed to the crews that are performing the work but are not actually required to climb, such as Project Managers, Engineers, Technicians and Customer Liaisons. These individuals require the authorized person training to manage the safety of the project work site and assure all employees on the project site are aware of current ANSI standards and are in compliance with OSHA regulations. These students will also be trained in assisted rescue techniques.

This program involves candidates completing an intensive two-day program in conjunction with those applying for "Tower Climbing Safety and Rescue" certification. The Non-Climber student will also be trained in Assisted Recue techniques for injured climbers.

DAY 1:

Candidates will complete the full day of classroom training required of climbers. They will interact with the climbers and will have the additional homework assignment of developing a formal safety plan for the next day which is in the field on a tower for the climbers.

DAY 2:

Candidates will take tests with the climbers in the morning, then mobilize to the live tower site. Non-climber students won't climb, but they will be dealing with all the issues normally addressed in the climbers' jobs. In the field, non-climbers will participate in the site safety meeting which includes selection and inspection of safety equipment. They will present their individual safety plans (homework) for the climbing students to evaluate and then modify, if needed, according to the program. During the field activities, non-climbers will complete a written critique and work with a Senior ComTrain instructor on evaluating the climbers and their activities.

Candidates who have

• successfully scored on the written exam
• completed an approved pre-mobilization plan (by a ComTrain Senior Instructor)
• completed their field check list & critique sheets

will be certified as Tower Climbing Safety & Rescue Non-Climbers.
All students will receive the 4th Edition student textbook and our "Soft Ropes & Capstans" Pocket Primer.

Graduates receive documented certification, a certificate for framing and a wallet ID card.
