On the 28th July 2022, the Batcheller Monkhouse Telecoms department attained their Rooftop Training certification after completing a day’s course at a specialist facility in Romney Marsh. The training was facilitated by Taskmasters, a company of height safety & rescue experts who notably advise counter terrorism police and the Special Forces.
Telecoms Rooftop Training
Their day began with a health and safety presentation, culminating in a qualifying exam, before being kitted out in harnesses and instructed on climbing safely. Our team found themselves scaling various structures such as a training crane followed by a 20m outdoor lattice tower. These were designed to simulate the type of climbing that might be involved when inspecting sites or conducting Multi-Skilled Visits (MSVs). All those involved enjoyed a fantastic outing, a healthy dose of adrenaline, and most importantly, received certification to recognise their proficiency operating safely at height.
Thank you to Taskmasters for hosting a brilliant day and well done to our Telecoms team!
