1. External masts for high risk working at height, fall arrest, evacuation and rescue training
2. Exterior high-level flat rooftops, with walkways and associated restraint and arrest systems
3. Oil rig gantries consisting of a steel frame platform with open edges, sharp edges, anchor points and an access hatch facility, enabling delegates to encounter hazards similar to those offshore. It’s used for rope access training, fall restraint training, fall arrest training, ladder rescue and practicing below gantry aid climbing for IRATA training
4. Indoor monopoles provide access and rescue training on telecoms monopoles with various access and fall arrest systems
5. Indoor masts allow for training to take place in all weathers. It can be used to train in the basics of fixed ladder climbing, open structure climbing, fixed ladder rescue and IRATA rigging
6. Indoor pitched roof systems provide safe access training for temporary fall arrest systems, predominantly used in the construction industry, satellite industry and businesses undertaking roofing repairs
