We had a great training-development morning today with the crew from Beaver Technology Services (BTS) — big thanks to Micheal and Steven for bringing along their tripod, davit arm and AirHook trailer 👷‍♂️🔧

Our trainers got hands-on practical experience setting up and using the gear, including BTS’s mobile overhead fall-protection system: the BTS AirHook Trailer. This trailer-mounted system gives a full overhead anchor point for up to two workers. It’s rated and compliant under AS/NZS 5532:2013 and is designed to be tow-able under road conditions — perfect for remote jobs, maintenance, height work or anywhere a permanent anchor isn’t available. With mast heights up to 7 m and a 1.3 m offset, it sets up in about five minutes and folds down neatly for transport.

It was great to see how quickly the team picked it up — and we can already see so many applications: height-safety work, rescues, maintenance, high vehicle access and more.

If you’re curious about the AirHook or want to know how this gear can fit into your next job site, just send us a message.

Emergency Response Team Training live fire and search n rescue. Awesome team, fantastic three days.

Snowy Hydro Emergency Response Team Training. 3 days spent with 9 fantastic new members from different regions.

From Monday morning through to Wednesday afternoon, the team pushed themselves through three intensive days of structural firefighting training.

The transformation has been incredible – the growth in skills, confidence, and teamwork in such a short time is nothing short of remarkable. It never ceases to amaze us how much is achieved in just three days: from the very first drill to the final scenarios, the progress has been outstanding.

Huge credit to Ben, Chloe, Dean, Dwayne, Murray, Nic, Shae, Tahnh, Walshy for their effort, commitment, and determination – what you’ve accomplished this week is something to be proud of!

Lads from Mastascaffold erected scaff on both tanks to ensure safe entry and exit.

We set up tripods and winch systems on each tank complete with gas detection.

Practice what we preach.

Certificate II public safety day 10

Today our students had to handle some of the toughest scenarios yet and we might add in some pretty average conditions.

First the entire team sat inside the Compartment Fire Behaviour Training Cell learning about the stages of fire development, over/under pressure, neutral plane, gas cooling, ventilation and more.

The team was then required to carry out a search and rescue mission in a single storey structure with live fire and minimal visibility.

The team went through the Cells in groups of 2 and 3 to locate and extricate a casualty while at the same time handling realistic fire conditions.

When progressing through the scenarios inside the cells it was evident the students had absorbed the required knowledge and skills from their 10 days of training.

The students had a great time and received some specialised hands on training at our purpose built facility.

Thanks to everyone involved, students, parents, teachers, trainers, staff.

From the team here at TTA we wish you all the very best in whatever endevours you choose. Great job.
