(Watertown, SD) - NATE: The Communications Infrastructure Contractors Association today unveiled a video shining a spotlight on the NATE Climber/Rescuer Training Standard (CRTS).

The NATE CRTS is intended to assist in standardizing fall protection and rescue training for climbers in the tower and communications infrastructure construction, service, and maintenance industries. The NATE CRTS is available in electronic format for free to NATE member companies and for purchase for stakeholders representing non-members.

The #ClimberConnection video conducts a deep dive into the CRTS, presenting a series of training topics, establishing a minimum baseline of knowledge and skill that a climber should possess. The CRTS training topics include an evaluation, intended to help an employer designate personnel initially as authorized climbers/rescuers and for personnel with sufficient knowledge, skills, and experience, as competent climbers/rescuers. The CRTS also offers guidelines to support an employer’s development and maintenance of its fall protection program to comply with the ANSI/ASSP A10.48 standard and regulations where work is conducted.

“This video does a great job of breaking down the importance of employers structuring their training to the guidelines outlined in the NATE CRTS with specific emphasis on the specific rescue types, techniques, and equipment utilized in the industry,” said Justin Miller of Ontivity. “I would strongly encourage all companies to adhere to the NATE CRTS protocols in their respective training programs,” added Miller.
