A giant step up

HART, Checkmate’s dedicated height
safety and rescue training division,
has recently opened ‘The Tor’, a giant
‘Working at Height’ training tower
facility, at its site in Sheerness, Kent.

One of the tallest training towers in
Europe, it can simulate realistic
evacuations from wind turbines,
tower cranes and telecoms.

The new tower means that HART
will be able to provide both existing
and new clients with a much wider
range of courses, particularly high
level rescue training. Approved by
RenewableUK, GWO and Siemens
for Working at Height training, this is
the only accredited tower of its type in
the South of England.
