3rd Edition NATE Tower Climber Fall Protection
Training Standard (NATE CTS)..................................$50.00
The NATE CTS was developed to establish
the minimum training requirements to
keep tower climbers safe. NATE encourages

to be used for either in-house training or
commercial purposes, the NATE CTS will
also provide the basis for determining that a
climber’s training is comprised of appropriate
information, education, equipment, practical applications and
evaluations. Regardless of where a tower climber is trained, they can
proudly announce that they have been trained to, or beyond, the
NATE standard.
