Basic course in special rescue from heights and depths (GL-SRHT)
Special rescue from heights and depths (SRHT) is used specifically for technical rescue, assistance and firefighting in exposed situations if conventional means are not sufficient to perform these tasks or if free hanging and working in the rope is required.
