A live-saving appliance no fireman working with respiratory protection should forget about. The RESCUE LOOP Rescue Sling is suitable and licensed for the attachment to a safety chain during rescue operations in compliance with European regulations (EN 566). It offers sufficient redundancies with a failure load of 22 kN. Many currently available slings have a failure load of only up to 3 kN = 300 kg. Under extreme circumstances, this may lead to life threatening situations!
The RESCUE-LOOP has a wide range of application:
- Carrying aid to save injured persons (left side)
- Emergency harness to rescue an injured person or oneself (left side)
- Searching of rooms: The rescue sling is attached to one fireman’s belt with an HMX carabiner, the other end is held by the team leader. This way less time is needed to search a room or area and yet the team is safely connected by the rescue sling.
- Opening and secure closing of fire doors: First, the sling is fastened to the door knob; then, after searching a room, in case of an imminent explosive flame or flashover, the door can be closed quickly and safely. The same technique should be applied when cooling flue gas with nozzles!
Note:
There are also "insert slings" with low breaking load available on the market. If products with too low breaking load are selected, there may be an increased risk of death!
