Hands-On Demonstrations

AIHA is proud to partner with Roco Rescue and PERI to bring hands-on demonstrations of rescues from fall protection, tripods and winches, and elevated rescue scenarios to the AIHA Connect 2026 Exhibit Hall. Demonstrations will be held in Booth 1239.

  • Rescue From Fall Protection – An unconscious suspended worker is one of the biggest hazards you can face. Time matters; do you have a plan? Participants will get a hands-on look at the Roco approach to rescue from fall protection, where speed and safety must work as one.
  • Tripods and Winches – Is a work tripod enough? This hands-on approach to using rescue tripods and rope systems goes way beyond the capabilities of a traditional work tripod and winch. Participants will discover why a non-entry confined space rescue plan can leave your employees in a bad spot… literally.
  • Elevated Rescue – When you have an incapacitated worker and your only access to them is a vertical ladder or stairs, how do you safely get them to the ground? Safely moving casualties is the highest priority in technical rescue. This session will explore sending the casualty over the edge. Attendees will experience riding in a basket as a patient and using Tenders & Taglines to safely control the movement in a live-patient teaching format.
