We offer high-altitude work safety training for wind turbine environment as well as other high work environments.

Safety is the first priority when working on heights.

Having an up to date safety training is very important when working under difficult conditions. Our certified training system guarantees the high quality of our safety trainings at all situations.

We organize different trainings for work safety according to our customers’ needs.

In addition to our standard training, we provide special trainings on request. This special training could be for example self-rescue from the hub or technical training.
