Course Overview
The Hub, Spinner and Inside Blade Rescue Refresher Training is a targeted 1-day module that revisits and reinforces the key knowledge, skills and abilities from the Hub, Spinner and Inside Blade Rescue Initial Training. The focus is on scenario-based practical training, updating participants on current best practice, and verifying that they continue to meet the learning objectives, rather than repeating every element of the initial training in full.
Participants must bring their own work safety boots.
