Latchways has recently launched their latest innovation in rescue safety – the Latchways Personal Rescue Device™ (PRD).
In the event of a fall from height, the Personal Rescue Device—integrated into a full body harness – will not only arrest the fall, but lower the user safely to the ground in matter of seconds by the activation of a parachute-style rip cord.
The simplicity of the PRD’s operation and effectiveness in overcoming this well known issue has been recognised within the industry resulting in Latchways winning the following awards:
• BSIF Safety Awards 2012 – Product Innovation Award • SATRA PPE Innovation of the Year 2012 and Best Innovation in Security and Emergency Response PPE 2012 • SAWO 2012 (International Fair of Work Protection, Fire Fighting and Rescue Equipment) Products and Technical Solutions Gold Medal
