Rescue Equipment

When working at height in a fall arrest situation, a rescue plan and process must always be in place. All workers who access areas of risk should be equipped with a rescue kit/device and have completed appropriate training.

MSA Latchways Personal Rescue Device (PRD)

Latchways’ Personal Rescue Device (PRD) is a very popular and highly effective rescue kit. It is designed to arrest a fall and limit the forces applied to the worker and the connecting anchor device.

This PRD provides a means of self-rescue for the user, allowing for a controlled descent to a safe location following a fall. The Latchways PRD can be used in any location where a certified anchor device is available at a maximum height of 20 metres.

Designed to be worn as an everyday PPE item, the PRD provides a self-rescue solution that is always ready. Housed within a neat backpack and integrated with a full body harness, a brake mechanism with a 20m cord, that can be activated to gently lower the worker to the ground. This range comes in the following:

RH2 – Two-point harness (Rear D-ring and front D-ring)
RH3 – Three-point harness (Rear D-ring, front D-ring and 2 lateral D-rings for work positioning)
