There is no one-size-fits-all solution in rescue equipment. The equip-
ment must be matched to the rescue plan and will vary to such a degree that
equipment solutions for one rescue scenario could be completely inappropri-
ate for another application. For recommendations on equipment designed for
your rescue needs, contact your rescue equipment manufacturer.
Rescue Equipment Standards
The National Fire Protection Association, NFPA 1983 (2006 edition),
provides guidelines to manufacturers of fiber ropes, harnesses and accessory
equipment. This standard applies primarily to the professional fire services,
but is also applicable to the needs of industrial rescue personnel. Equipment
certified to NFPA 1983 (2006 edition) meets a very stringent strength and
performance requirements suitable for the demands of emergency rescue.
The American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z359 Accredited Stan-
dards Committee for Fall Protection, has been working on a new standard for
rescue equipment, ANSI Z359.4 (proposed). This new standard sets criteria
for product design and testing. The ANSI Z359.4 standard will address re-
quirements for the following types of equipment:
• Rescue Harnesses,
• Rescue Lanyards,
• Anchorage Connectors,
• Rope-and-Tackle Systems,
• Descender Devices,
• Three-Way Rescuers (self-retracting lanyards with emergency rescue
capability),
• Rescue Hoists
