WAHR (Work at Height Regulations 2005 as amended) requires employers to provide appropriate measures to rescue someone from height in cases of accident or emergency. This should include providing full training and equipment for employees.
Rescue plans should consider the risks to rescuers as well as to casualties. Rescue drills should be carried out on a regular basis to ensure the planned method(s) is effective. Reliance on the local Fire Brigade is not appropriate and should not be part of the rescue plan.

Planning for work where there is only room for one person in the cage of a Tallescope should include rescue plans to rapidly recover the person who has been injured and/or is or may become unconscious. Recovery of someone who is unconscious or has suffered serious injury must be conducted as quickly as possible to prevent the casualty’s condition becoming worse.

Our Tallescope Rescue Kit has been rigorously tested and provides an effective, safe and easy to use rescue procedure which is highly commended within the theatre industry. We recommend you choose the Rescue Kit approved by the manufacturers, Aluminium Access Products.
