According to OSHA, what is required for every qualified electrical worker regarding pole top rescue?

The requirement for every qualified electrical worker to attend an annual review of pole top rescue skills aligns with OSHA regulations focused on safety in the workplace, particularly when working at heights. The rationale behind this requirement is that the skills necessary for effective rescue can be easily forgotten or become rusty if not practiced regularly. Annual training ensures that workers remain proficient and ready to respond promptly and effectively in emergency situations, thus enhancing their safety and the safety of their colleagues. This ongoing training helps to reinforce critical skills and ensure that all workers are familiar with the latest techniques and equipment available for pole top rescues, which can be essential for survival and minimizing injury in case of an emergency.
