Description
Although available for use for rescue professionals, the
Rollgliss
®
rescue kit has been designed as a
peer rescue
system
for use in industrial environments. The kit has been
designed specifically to enable a rescue to be performed by a
person or persons where rescue is not part of their normal job
function. It is to be used by the rescuer(s) to remove a person
from danger without putting themselves at risk by descending
to them.
Unlike many rope rescue systems, the Rollgliss
®
rescue kit
does not require complex knots to be tied or improvised haul
systems to be set up. The use of knives is also not required
to remove the casualty from their existing fall arrest system,
making the system even safer. Most importantly, the user can
either be raised OR lowered to safety.
