Rescue Kits

The Confined Space/Head First Extraction System (HFES) is a specialized rescue product designed for those extreme cases where the rescuer has no other option, but to be lowered head first into a confined space to perform a rescue. These cases are rare, but can happen when someone has fallen into a restrictive confined space such as a well or drain system. The system allows the rescuer to be lowered comfortably into a confined space head first, harness the victim, and raise both victim and rescuer out of the confined space. This small, compact system can be used with any confined space retrieval equipment such as tripods and davits.

The HFES consists of the following components:

• Adjustable Lifting Strap (A)
  
• Adjustable Victim Strap (B)
  
• 1 Pair of Ankle Harnesses (C)
  
• 2 Carabiners (D)
  
• Storage Bag (E)

The Rescue Pole/Remote Hook is designed as a rescue tool for the retrieval of a worker suspended in a fall arrest system or for remote rescue access. In most cases, the need for the rescuer to go to the fallen worker (victim) is limited. The Rescue Pole can be used in a wide variety of rescue applications and will serve as an excellent tool to help perform a safer, efficient rescue.

The system consists of an adjustable fiberglass pole, pole adapter, and remote hook. A nylon storage bag is optional.

The Emergency Rescue Bag System is designed for rescue on electrical and communication towers. Developed for use in restrictive environments, this extremely lightweight system was primarily designed for tower rescue; however, the system can be used to perform rescues on almost any vertical structure. The Emergency Rescue Bag System consists of a pre-rigged lowering System that comes in a variety of lengths. The users of this product must receive training by an approved trainer.

The Fall Protection Rescue kit is designed to be an “out of the bag” rescue system. This kit combines a remote hook and extension pole with a rescue utility system. The remote hook and extension pole allows for remote attachment of a rescue line to a victim. The Rescue Utility System allows a rescuer to raise or lower the victim to safety. This kit should be used with a back-up system (not included).
