A Leader in Avalanche Safety Training
Alpine Solutions offers specialized safety training for workplaces exposed to avalanche and mountain hazards. Our programs not only meet but exceed regulatory requirements, equipping workers with the skills needed to operate safely in high-risk zones.
Who Needs Avalanche Safety Training?
If avalanche risk zones have been identified at a workplace, it is recommended that workers receive proper training to ensure safety in these areas. When an avalanche safety plan outlines procedures for working in such zones, it is essential for every worker to be trained in the relevant safety measures. Employers should provide workers with the necessary training, instruction, and supervision to maintain a safe work environment and effectively manage avalanche risks.
Avalanche Safety Training is Scaled To Operational Needs
Effective training is tailored to meet the unique operational needs of each workplace. Working in avalanche terrain presents specific challenges, which is why we develop customized training programs that address the distinct requirements of your operation. Our training goes beyond regulatory compliance, prioritizing worker safety and enhancing overall operational readiness.
What is Covered in Avalanche Safety Training?
Topics would be focused on providing a basic understanding of avalanche hazard, locations of potential avalanche hazard for the project, the avalanche forecasting program, and avalanche search and rescue procedures. Training are conducted by an Avalanche Technician and could be designed to be made available anytime new personnel may be expected on site to ensure efficient worker onboarding.
The following topics would normally be covered:
- Information on the formation and nature of avalanches and recognition of avalanche terrain
- Locations of all avalanche areas within their work region (review of the avalanche atlas)
- Daily avalanche bulletins and the project Avalanche Hazard Scale
- Potential site access restrictions associated with the commencement of avalanche season
- Safe travel procedures through avalanche areas
- Avalanche rescue procedures including avalanche transceiver practice
