FIRE RESCUTRAINING CENTERWhen doing technical rope work, whether fighting fires, rescuing someone from a tower, repairing a windturbine, or rappelling from heights, training on the gear you use is essential. Because Sterling appreciateshow important this training is, we have collaborated with many of the best trainers, rescue and workaccess professionals to design and build the new Sterling Rope Training Center at our facility in Biddeford,Maine. The center is not only a great indoor training facility; it also provides us a place to test our productsin simulated applications. The center is complete with a large classroom, instructor’s office, an overheadprojector and computer hookups. Rope training takes place in an open two-story area that featureswindows and a parapet for bailout or rappel training, a 30-foot tower for work at height and industrialrescue exercises. Overhead anchors, structural beams and truss simulate a work environment, while flooranchors, such as steam radiators, building columns and door jams allow for realistic training scenarios.The Training Center has been utilized for SPRAT (Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians)certification courses, wind turbine access and rescue training, and for F4 Escape and firefighter safety andsurvival courses.The Training Center is available for contract courses that are instructed by professional, certified trainers.For more information on classes or for a schedule of events, please call us at 800.788.7673.
