Posted By Richard Hinckley We at Total Access have spent a while looking at this issue and have developed a bespoke piece of safety equipment called the Rescue GENIE, it is very simple to use and supported by a full training programme. I realise that it is a fine line on promoting products on this forum but we do support a lot of IOSH member questions where technical support if required on Height Safety issues, so I hoped that you wouldn't mind me mentioning our new product for this rescue application? We will be exhibiting at IOSH 07 where this product will have its formal launch. Richard
