This 2 day workshop has been designed for rope access technicians, riggers and rescue operators who are using tripods and powered winches on their worksites to move people and other loads.

In his recent article, Rigging or Roping?, Richard discusses some of the issues around the use of these tools. This workshop aims to:

• Increase students’ understanding of the legal and safety issues around the use of tripods and powered winches to move loads.
• Increase students’ knowledge of appropriate rope based systems to move loads using tripods and powered winches.

Please note that this content does not fall into any standard rigging or rope access training. Richard has recognised that there are often knowledge gaps in this area. He is both a qualified and experienced Rope Access Technician and Rigger, as well as an experienced trainer. Theoretical and practical sessions will include:

• Australian qualifications and regulations that apply to rope access and mechanical lifting.
• Tripods, gin poles and other artificial high directionals.
• Equipment ratings: MBS and SWL of rope based systems.
• Powered winches.
• Tension load cells: monitoring system loads.

Richard is offering a dscount to existing RopeLab Members.
