A live, in-person event built for the Outdoor Advertising industry, where safety, skill, and community climb together.
Duluth, GA. Formetco is once again bringing safety to new heights with its 2026 Safety Training Event, taking place February 9–12, 2026, at the LHG Innovation Center in Duluth, Georgia.
Designed specifically for workers and managers in the Outdoor Advertising industry, this highly interactive and hands-on training has become one of the most anticipated annual gatherings for field professionals who live and work at height.
“Each year we see climbers, supervisors, and safety managers come together from across the country, not just to earn certifications but to learn from each other,” said a Formetco representative. “It’s not just a class. It’s a community.”
Training That Matters
This year’s agenda focuses on essential, real-world safety knowledge tailored to the billboard industry:
- OSHA 10-Hour Class
A practical and engaging course that covers billboard-specific jobsite hazards. Participants who meet classroom requirements will receive an official OSHA Outreach completion card. - National Safety Council CPR/First Aid/AED Certification
Equips attendees with life-saving skills while meeting OSHA requirements for remote workers. A certificate will be issued upon completion. - Dealing with OSHA and Contractors
Guidance on managing inspections, citations, contractor relations, and building effective safety programs. - Climber Training Certification
A crowd favorite featuring classroom instruction, hands-on climbing, and practical evaluation. Participants advance from foundational techniques to more complex maneuvers on catwalks and fixed ladders under the supervision of certified trainers.
More Than Training, It’s a Community
Beyond certifications, what truly sets Formetco’s event apart is its atmosphere.
The training encourages connection, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing among climbers, supervisors, and company owners. Over the years, these interactions have built a close-knit network of professionals committed to working safely.
“Outdoor advertising is a small industry with big hearts,” one past attendee shared. “At this event, you’re surrounded by people who get it—the climbs, the conditions, the responsibility. You walk away better prepared and more connected.”
🎥 Behind the Scenes: Building Safety from the Ground Up
Formetco’s commitment to safety extends beyond the classroom. The company recently released a behind-the-scenes video showing how its training tools and hardware are designed, built, and tested for real-world use—demonstrating that safety begins long before anyone climbs.
