In the emergency services, personnel frequently need to perform rescues from heights, such as rescuing individuals from cliffs, buildings, or industrial structures. These skills are also crucial for volunteer organisations like search and rescue teams that respond to emergencies in natural environments, including rugged terrains and bushland.
In industrial sectors, such as construction, mining, and utilities, workers may be required to rescue colleagues trapped in confined spaces or elevated areas due to accidents or equipment failures. Additionally, telecommunications and wind energy industries often use vertical rescue techniques to safely retrieve workers from towers and turbines.
