02 Apr Rope access and time management for emergency responders

by Ivan Kristoff

Precise time management is crucial when working at height and high profile rope access projects. In order to increase efficiency or productivity, I have developed a specialized time management program with the necessary tools, techniques and skills, required to effectively mange time when accomplishing emergency response and repairs in remote access work. This time management system is designed for emergency responders and rope access technicians, who have to be sent on work at extreme heights and helicopter rope work operations, where every second counts and there is no chance to go back or not finish the assigned mission on time. When we work with battery powered technology and and cordless equipment in remote and hard to reach areas, we have to calculate all aspect of operations in order to complete the task within the charge of a battery, for example. Even every body movement in the abyss must be calculated before commencing the job on the ropes.

For those, who need to improve their time management skills, I have prepared a combination of educational processes, tools, techniques, and methods for developing personal growth in that area. This is a necessity in the harsh environment and the type of work, for which my company is called. So, this is just some of the list for our newcomers:

• How to get organized
• How to set priorities and handle critical tasks on time
• How to master the art of time management
• How to map the important things
• How to double your time management with the proper  watches
• How to improve your multitasking operations

Improve your multitasking operations with the I.V.A.N. “Time management” program
From case studies made for people who work in extreme environment, like pilots and aerial/rope rescuers, we know that they can not perform efficiently in more than seven various tasks at the same time. To help you minimize the stress and maximize your concentration for multitasking operations during emergency response and crisis situations, contact us to provide you with the necessary training, educational materials and timing instruments.
