Rescue unit for those suspended at height
May 1st 2007

Available from Total Access, Rescue Genie is an independent rescue unit that assists in fulfiling the Work at Height Regulations 2005; Regulation 4 (2) 'to plan for emergencies and rescue' requirement by providing an on-site reach and recover response system for a worker suspended at height.

Following a fall resulting in the suspension of a worker, the Rescue Genie is quick to deploy.

The casualty is reached via the use of a telescopic pole that has a special hook and pull mechanism that makes it easier to attach to a casualty first time.

A few strokes from the winch will have a casualty raised to their attachment point, released from their original safety line or lanyard and quickly lowered to safety. The winch system is said to speed up the rescue dramatically by its 6:1 mechanical lever advantage and single rope action.

Rescue Genie is suitable for almost all emergency rescue applications and, as the rescuer is independent of the system, the risk to them is reduced significantly
