SUMMARY:Aerial Rescue Training Workshop
DESCRIPTION:When a tree worker is injured or incapacitated aloft\, typically fellow crew members are the first to respond.  An emergency could develop at any time\, and tree care professionals must know how to react. \n\n\n\nTCIA’s Aerial Rescue Training Program helps protect your workers and meet the aerial rescue training requirements mandated by ANSI Z133.1 and OSHA. \n\n\n\nThis certificate program is designed to be used in combination with on-the-job training and practice\, so that crews have the knowledge and skills needed to evaluate an emergency situation and potentially rescue an injured tree worker. \n\n\n\n Registration starts at 8:00am.  Class to begin at 8:30am and be completed by 3:30pm. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Eric Freesmeyer\, Gary Kohler \n\n\n\nCapacity: 30 Beginners/15 Advanced \n\n\n\n\nALL students will receive a workbook and a take home quiz if you have not already become certified through TCIA.\n\n\n\nALL students will be required to bring and wear proper PPE (hardhat and safety glasses). \n\n\n\nALL students should also bring climbing gear to take part in a wide range of rescue scenarios (not mandatory to take class). \n\n\n\nAll gear will need to pass inspection prior to use.\n\n\n\nFor beginner students there will be additional focus on ‘low and slow’. The advanced students will have the opportunity to work through more complicated scenarios at height. \n\n\n\nLawn chairs and water bottles are recommended.\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Deadline: April 28\, 2023\, 4:00pm \n\n\n\n6.5 ISA and TCIA CTSP CEUs available. \n\n\n\nOther Info: \n\n\n\n\nLunch will be provided.  Please bring your own water bottle.\n\n\n\nOther safety protocols to be shared once entering ENSA.\n\n\n\n\nSponsorships: \n\n\n\n\nTo become a sponsor for this event\, please download this Sponsor Form and return it by April 15th.\n\n\n\n\nQuestions: \n\n\n\n\nContact Ryan Rodefer at rrodefer@wachteltree.com\n\n\n\n\nCancellation and Refund Policy:\n\n\n\n\nRefunds will be made if requested on or before April 21\, 2023 with a $10 processing fee. \n\n\n\nThere will be no refunds for cancellations made after April 21st\, although substitutions may be permitted.  Refunds will only be considered in emergency situations at the Wisconsin Arborist Association’s discretion.  Refunds will not be provided for registrants who do not attend the event.\n\n\n\nNotice of cancellation and/or substitutions must be made by contacting Tina Johnson through the Contact Us page on our website or by calling Tina Johnson at 262-899-0060.  A cancellation acknowledgement will be sent within 3 working days and fees refunded within 10 working days\, subject to this Return Policy.  We do not issue refunds once the event has occurred.
