Gravitec Systems Partnership
CommLink Technology has a 15+ year partnership with Gravitec Systems, one of the most respected fall protection and rescue engineering firms in the industry. Their curriculum exceeds the Criteria for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health, and Environment Training, the highest industry standards for training, published by the American Society of Safety Engineers Fall Protection Standard.
Gravitec's course uses a combination of classroom and hands-on field work to train workers to maintain 100% fall protection. This includes always having a secondary connection during elevated work, and using a planned approach to rescuing workers at height. There are "challenge" and "rescue" portions of the course, which focus on simplicity and safety techniques.
