THE NEED FOR RESCUE PLANS
Rescue Plan Required by OSHA in the U.S.
OSHA 1926.502 (d) (20): The employer shall provide for prompt rescue of employees in the event
of a fall or shall assure that employees are able to rescue themselves.
OSHA 1910.66 Appendix C Section III. (g): “Rescue considerations.” As required by the standard
(section I Paragraph (e)(8)), when personal fall arrest systems are used, the employer must
assure that employees can be promptly rescued or can rescue themselves should a fall occur.
The availability of rescue personnel, ladders or other rescue equipment should be evaluated.
In some situations, equipment which allows employees to rescue themselves after the fall has
been arrested may be desirable, such as devices which have descent capability.
The Latchways Personal Rescue
Device (PRD)is worn with a 3M
Elavation Full Body Harness, and
activation is achieved by simply pulling
the release cord, allowing for self-
rescue. The lightweight, unobtrusive
rescue device is contained in a small
“backpack” that integrates rescue
capabilities into your personal fall
arrest equipment. In the event of a
fall, the Elavation harness suspends
the user and allows the Latchways
PRD to gently lower him or her to the
ground, unassisted, in a controlled
descent. If the user is unable to self-
rescue, the device may be activated
by another person. The PRD features
65 feet of rope, which is released at
a controlled rate through an integral
braking mechanism.
In a world of complex rescue solutions,
simplifi ed rescue is essential
