January Updates: Training, Events & Safety Resources
As we move into February and leave January behind us, it’s a good time to pause and share a few key updates from across REAX.
The start of the year has already been busy. From hands-on equipment events and flexible training delivery to the continued rollout of specialist safety video content designed to support teams working in high-risk environments.
Here’s a look at what’s been happening.
ActSafe Power Ascender Open Day – Today
Today we’re hosting our ActSafe Power Ascender Open Day at the REAX Blackpool training centre.
The open day is focused on giving attendees practical, hands-on experience with the ActSafe Power Ascender, exploring how it can be used safely and effectively for both personnel access and equipment lifting.
Using our dedicated training facilities, we’re running live demonstrations and workshops covering:
- Personnel lifting and access configurations
- Equipment hauling and load management
- System design considerations and limitations
- Safe use, backup systems, and rescue planning
The day brings together teams from rope access, renewables, offshore, transmission, rescue teams, and emergency services, creating a valuable opportunity to share experience and discuss real-world applications.
If you weren’t able to attend today and would like to find out more about ActSafe Power Ascender training or future events, please get in touch.
