Our purpose is to minimize loss of life, injury, property damage and risk to the high-rise environment and maximize the rope rescue efficiency through innovation. We are, by necessity, cost effective and efficient. I am, therefore, currently organizing a Highrise Emergencye Aerial Rescue Team, a non-profit organization that consists solely of rope and aerial access experts. With an industry, being ranked as one of the most dangerous, I want to give the workers a chance for a safer future. Living on the edge is what “ropers” do for a living. In no time, the rescuers can descend, if necessary, on the location where the accident has taken place, and videotape the site, or any details of the investigation. In the case of an emergency, they could be called anywhere, any time, and with the cooperation of the emergency service providers (or on their own) commence high-angle rescue operations. They could meet regularly to discuss, upgrade, practice and teach safety, rescue and emergency procedures in conjunction with other emergency services.īecause situations differ from building to building, or bridge to bridge, it’s crucial that this team is prepared to perform in the most unpredictable environment. This could be a team of highly qualified professionals and rope access technicians with knowledge in rigging and rope rescue, first aid, communications and bylaws. The solution for preventing them, or efficiently responding when they do occur, is to organize an emergency response team that is trained and equipped specifically for this task. It is crucial to be prepared for the unexpected.Īccidents have become more complicated. It is crucial to be prepared for the unexpected. Catherines in 1993 and other rope access related incidents have shown that lives could have been saved if such a team existed. There are over 25,000 high-rises and constantly growing building development in Ontario, but there is no specially trained urban rope rescue unit to respond efficiently to emergencies in inaccessible places. “I would like to introduce a new concept for the high rise development industry.
