UK: Latchways PRD Wins Three Awards

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
