The CRD is a constant rate descent device suitable for rescue and evacuation. It is suitable for rescue from vertical situations where you can access the casualty.
The Gotcha Rescue kit is a unique solution to a problem faced by all workers at height who
use PPE for protection against falls. Whereas most rescue provision has focused on the more
extreme activities carried out at height, the Gotcha kit is designed for tradesmen who use
common items of fall protection. In the event of a fall, their situation, if suspended in a
harness, is just as serious as any other worker and a swift recovery is essential.
The kit will work effectively with conscious or unconscious victims, the rescuer can carry out
the rescue from a point of safety, the rescue can be carried out by a single person, no cutting
is required and you can raise or lower the victim in a controlled manner to the nearest point
of safety.
