Fall Arrest & Basic Rescue Course (FAT)
What is the Fall Arrest & Basic Rescue Course?
The skill set of a ‘Fall Arrest Technician‘ includes that of a basic fall arrest technician / fall arrest operator, with the addition of basic rescue skills, to rescue a person from height. Basic rescue skills require a point of safety below, and typically only include lowering of the casualty.
