Manufacturing environments generally present non-standard problems of safe work at height, often with added implications for rescue in the case of an accident.

Likely situations include fragile roof surfaces (in which case PPE alone may not be sufficient), elevated ladderways, remote plant maintenance, vehicle loading bays etc.

Always try to choose methods of restraint (prevention) rather than fall arrest and give consideration to suitable anchor points. Installing permanent anchors is often a suitable option.

Emergencies in manufacturing environments may not be limited to rescue after a fall. The heightec roll-up rescue stretcher is equally adapted for use in both horizontal or vertical mode on ladderways, walkways and confined areas.
