Live Rescue Demonstrations
Join the SAIA Fall Protection and Permanent Installation Councils for powerful, real-world Live demos!
Wednesday, January 21, 2026
Back of south Hall – Scaffold Builders Competition Area
Our Fall Protection Council will show you why fall protection is only half the story and why a rescue plan is absolutely critical. “Because Fall Protection Doesn’t End at the Fall.”
Every year, workers are seriously injured or killed not from the fall itself, but from the lack of timely rescue. Suspension trauma, panic, and delayed response can quickly turn a survivable incident into a tragedy.
In these eye-opening demonstrations, you’ll witness:
- Real-time rescue techniques and emergency response best practices
- How the right equipment and planning can save lives
- Why rescue must be a core element of every fall protection program
Whether you’re a safety professional, employer, or crew member, you’ll see firsthand that rescue is not optional- it’s essential.
Experience the urgency. Learn the solutions. Be rescue-ready.
Our Permanent Installation Council will present to you the truth about fall protection anchors in an action- packed demonstration where they will put a variety of fall protection anchors to the ultimate test, right on stage.
You’ll discover:
- How different anchor types perform under real-world loads
- Which anchors truly meet safety standards and which ones don’t
- The best use cases for each anchor style, so you know exactly which to trust on the job
Not all anchors are created equal. This eye-opening session will change the way you approach fall protection.
