In this episode of Werner Tech Talk, Kevin Denis, Werner's Technical Service Manager, breaks down the “D” in the ABCDEs of fall protection—Descent and Rescue. While “rescue” doesn’t start with a D, descent control plays a vital role in many rescue systems, and having a rescue plan is not just smart—it’s required.

Kevin explains the importance of planning ahead for fall incidents, outlines the hierarchy of rescue, and walks through both self-rescue and assisted rescue methods. From using ladders and lifts to deploying rescue ladders and retrieval systems, this session offers practical guidance for keeping workers safe and compliant.

Whether you're managing jobsite safety or training a crew, this video is a must-watch for understanding how to prepare for—and ideally prevent—the need for rescue.
