CHOOSING A SOLUTION FOR RESCUE
RESCUE AND EVACUATION SYSTEMS
All safety systems for work at height should include a plan for rescue. With most vertical endeavors, being on-rope is sec- ondary to the actual job being performed. Workers must always ensure that equipment, systems, and methods comply with applicable regulations, and that the method used will safely and effectively perform the job at hand. The following four heightec-PMITM
Systems offer a complete, ready-to-go kit for rescue in any industry or work situation.
To be effective, rescue systems must be easy to use, safe and reliable. The following criteria should be applied when evaluating a rescue system:
1) Rescuers should not be part of the anchor system. 2) In case of operator panic, the lowering or raising device must be “fail-safe”. 3) Systems should be simple to deploy and operate. 4) Subject attachment should be secure. 5) Additional parts are not necessary for rope devices when changing from one mode of operation to another.
