Fall Arrest and Rescue - FallArrescue

	See our new FallArrescue System in action here on YouTube The “FallArrescue” is a new system developed exclusively for Apollo Cradles Ltd by Getmie Safe Ltd; specialists in rescue from height.   The system addresses two main elements of working at height; fall arrest and rescue.
	The FallArrescue's intuitive design deals with the first element, “fall arrest” with the use of an EN352/2 guided type fall arrestor that has been specially adapted and tested to give greater freedom of movement to the user when working within the confines of a cradle or work basket. It operates as a follow-on devise that will glide up and down the safety line as the user ascends and descends. Should the user experience a fall, the device will automatically arrest the fall by locking onto the safety rope.
The second element “rescue” is fully automatic and requires no intervention from additional persons or independent rescue teams. This is achieved through the connection of the safety line to an automatic descent device that, once activated, will lower the user to safety at a controlled descent velocity of approximately 0.8m/sec. The automatic descender device is certified to EN341 and descent is controlled by centrifugal braking
	The FallArrescue” require minimal training as the rescue function is completely automatic. The user need only attach the lanyard from the fall arrestor to the approved anchor point of their EN361 fall arrest harness; however training must be given in the correct use of all parts of the system including pre-use checks.
Rescue is a vital part of any planning for work at height and timing for casualty retrieval is crucial, even for the unharmed and conscious person that has been left suspended in their harness following a fall. This system minimizes the time that a person will be suspended by activating the descent immediately after a fall. In the time you could have altered a response team your user will already be down at the designated safe area. Complete instructions are available in the FallArrescue PDF
