RESPONDER ELEVATOR TRAINING

You've been trained to help people out of a burning building, to respond to First Aid emergencies, to put out fires…

But… do you know how to respond to elevator entrapment calls safely and professionally? Responder Elevator Training will teach you how!

WHAT IS RET?

Responder Elevator Training, or RET, is a unique set of courses developed by elevator professional and Certified Safety Officer Lonnie Mackenzie. It is geared toward providing the insight and tools needed when dealing with an elevator entrapment call.

Lonnie’s background as a First Responder allows him insight into what firefighters face when walking into a dangerous and unknown situation – and he applies current ASME standards to ensure that best practices are always adhered to.

RET Level 1 is a fully online course which provides the theory and best practices involved with elevator entrapment rescue. It is a precursor to the in-person RET Level 2 class, which verifies competence in these skills via hands-on demonstration.

The Benefit of Experience
