Advanced Engineering for Harness Rescue Scenarios
At ULS Lifting, we provide rescue harnesses that go beyond standard fall arrest. In an emergency, a rescue safety harness must maintain a casualty in an optimal vertical position during a lift. This is vital for ensuring the person can be pulled through narrow openings or manholes without the harness shifting or causing further injury.
Key Features of our Rescue Range:
Vertical Extraction Ready: Specifically designed for use with rescue winches and tripods, keeping the user upright for safe passage through tight entries.
Integrated Rescue Straps: Many of our rescue harnesses feature a permanent rescue "tail" or overhead attachment points, eliminating the need for additional slings during a crisis.
Confined Space Optimisation: Featuring high-visibility webbing and low-profile hardware, these are the primary harness rescue tools for drainage and utility specialists.
Suspension Trauma Prevention: Reinforced leg loops and ergonomic back support help minimise the risk of suspension trauma if a worker is suspended while unconscious.
Rescue Harness Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a standard fall arrest harness and a rescue harness?
While both prevent falls, a rescue safety harness is specifically designed for extraction. It includes additional attachment points (often at the shoulders or via an integrated strap) that keep the wearer in a vertical position. This is essential for harness rescue operations in confined spaces where a horizontal position would prevent the casualty from being pulled through the opening.
Which rescue harnesses are best for confined space work?
The 1154R Cresto Core Active and the FALL@RREST GLOBAL Rescue Harness are excellent choices. They are designed to be used as a primary harness rescue tool, allowing for comfortable all-day wear while being ready for immediate vertical lifting.
Does a rescue safety harness require different inspections?
Like all PPE, rescue harnesses must undergo a formal inspection by a competent person at least every 6 months (as per LOLER and PUWER regulations). Because these harnesses rescue lives in high-stress environments, checking the integrity of the specialised rescue attachment points is critical.
Can these harnesses be used for everyday fall protection?
Yes. Our rescue harnesses are dual-certified. This means they function as a standard fall arrest harness for daily tasks but have the added specialised features required for an emergency safety harness rescue should an incident occur.
