DIARY UPDATE - Tallescope Rescue Demo Time Revised to Demo 2

27th Mar 2013

Please note the revised start time for the second demonstration. Previously 1.30pm it has now been moved to 2:45pm.

Aluminium Access Products have now developed a kit of parts that can be added to an existing Tallescope in order to make the equipment comply with the Work at Height Regulations.

They have now developed a kit of parts that can be added to an existing Tallescope which is a stand-alone method of retrieving a casualty from the elevated basket of a 'scope. This has been the method that both the ABTT and the HSE have been encouraging AAP to develop as opposed to total reliance upon other methods such hoists in theatre grids/flyfloors etc. This is, therefore, a significant development.

The ABTT has arranged for two demonstrations in London on Tuesday the 9th of April;

Demo 1 - Earl's Court 2 at 10:30am

Demo 2 - Playhouse Theatre in Northumberland Avenue commencing around the revised time of 2:45pm.

We encourage all interested parties to attend one or both of these sessions. Pre-registration is encouraged due to security restrictions at both sites. Please register your intention to attend with your name and Organisation/employer to office@abtt.org.uk
