Self Rescue System

Self Rescue System

Self Rescue System is a relatively safe, simple, low cost self-escape “Controlled Descent Device” that functions as an alternative means of emergency escape when needed. This Escape Descender device can safely guide the evacuee to the ground in the event of a fire or emergency. It automatically descends at the same speed.

This pre-plan approach of providing multiple “Escape Stations” throughout the structure in key locations would enable everyone inside the building ready access to an evacuation system in the event of life threatening emergency. It also enables the system to be relocated to another pre-plan safer location away from fire. The system can also be moved to another office when the company moves to a new location.

To use our rescue device, the wheel with the excess cable is dropped from the rescue platform to the ground to allow the cable to unwind. The first evacuee wear on the rescue harness and exits the platform. As he descends, the opposite end of the cable containing another rescue harness is raised to the level of the escape platform, allowing the next evacuee to escape. This process continues until all persons have been evacuated.
