VNA and Warehouse Access and Rescue

Our courses provide experience and training in working at height for a range of VNA and warehouse access situations, including rescue of injured or incapacitated casualties from ladders, platforms or in-house racking systems.

Courses 3 and 4 are specifically tailored for personnel using VNA trucks, where there is a requirement to work outside the cab area and conduct a similar rescue operation from a warehouse vehicle to a safe location.

Courses are delivered in the first instance over 1 day; thereafter, certification renewal is required at the stated intervals and will be delivered on a half day basis (until 3rd year certificate renewal).
