On-site rescue
34

If a victim is not able to self-
rescue, the on-site work team
has to respond immediately
and move him/her to safety.

Examples of operations:
• a team member accesses
the victim, unhooks him/
her, then lowers the victim
unaccompanied
• a team member accesses
the victim, unhooks him/her,
then rappels down with the
victim
• the victim is suspended on a
pre-installed evacuation system
that does not require a team
member to access him/her
directly

Technical specifics:
• unaccompanied evacuation
can generally be done using a
ready-to-use rescue kit
• accompanied descent
requires proper training, as it
implies a mastery of advanced
rope access techniques
• in all cases, the rescue
method should be as rapid as
possible, in order to reduce
the risk of suspension trauma,
especially when the victim is
unconscious

JAG RESCUE KIT
The ready-to-use reversible JAG RESCUE KIT is designed to
easily unhook and lower a victim. It contains a JAG SYSTEM
haul kit, a RING OPEN gated ring, an I’D S descender,
a CONNEXION FIXE 150 cm anchor strap, a BUCKET bag
and an AXIS 11 mm rope with two sewn terminations.
