About this session
Lineworkers & Field Network Climbing is a 60-minute to three-hour ergonomics session for lineworkers and field technicians who climb poles and towers and work overhead in harnesses. It runs live online or in person.
Crews map climbing, harness and tool-belt demands across a day, stage vehicles and tools to cut avoidable force, and build short recovery habits that survive callouts and delays.
It supports, and doesn't replace, your climbing, fall-protection and electrical safety procedures and training. Ongoing pain is worth discussing with occupational health or a doctor.
Crews leave with practical ways to reduce strain across demanding field days.
