12-meter retractable fall arrest block with built in two-way rescue recovery mechanism. Working in an equivalent way to a car seat belt, during normal use the user can move freely whilst the galvanised steel cable lifeline is kept under permanent tension. If the wearer were to fall, it triggers the locking system and stop the wearer falling
When used for rescue, the rescue/recovery function can be quickly activated by snapping the side handle into place. The cable drum is now permanently locked to the handle shaft and by rotating the handle the casualty can be either lifted or lowered to a place of safety. The rescue/recovery function can be activated whether the cable is on free run or from the locked position after an arrested fall
