Selection & enquiry guidance

Choosing height safety rescue equipment for the application

Rescue equipment should be chosen around a defined rescue method, access route, casualty or user load, anchorage and the equipment already in the system. A rescue kit is most useful when its components match the site plan and the people expected to use it.

Rescue method

Describe the planned access, lowering, raising or retrieval method.

Site and anchorage

Provide photographs, dimensions and details of the available anchor or support arrangement.

Compatible equipment

Include harnesses, connectors, davits, tripods or other equipment that forms part of the system.

Common questions

Height safety rescue equipment enquiries

What should I send when asking for rescue equipment?

Provide the rescue plan or intended method, site photographs, access dimensions, user or casualty load and details of existing equipment.

Can rescue equipment be selected without considering the rest of the height-safety system?

The rescue arrangement should be planned as a complete system so access, anchorage, compatibility and the intended method work together.
