FALL PROTACTION RESCUE EQUIPMENT
Historically, equipment used in industrial rescue work has been drawn
from mountaineering and alpine rescue fields. This equipment emphasizes
rope techniques and combinations of components rigged together for each
rescue application. While the equipment is very light and versatile in the
hands of professional rescue technicians, it requires considerable skill and
experience to be used safely.
The current trend is toward equipment designed especially for the needs
of industrial rescue teams. This equipment tends to have more redundant
safety features and is often pre-rigged by the manufacturer to reduce the pos-
sibility of misuse during an emergency. New national standards are being de-
veloped to establish requirements for industrial rescue equipment. These new
standards will simplify the task of selecting and using rescue equipment for
industrial users.
Selecting the Right Equipment for the Job
A wide range of safety equipment is available for post-fall rescue. The
type of equipment you select will depend on the circumstances of your pre-
planned rescue response. Here again, we rely on the evaluation and planning
performed by a competent person as part of the rescue plan to guide us in the
selection of equipment suitable for specific applications.
