Skylotec Evacuation Type Rescue Personnel Harness
Skylotec Evacuation Type Rescue Personnel Harness
The Skylotec Evacuation Type Rescue Personnel Harness is a rescue sheet that can be used in place of a conventional harness for abseiling a casualty in an emergency. When there is no time to fit a full harness, the rescue sheet wraps and secures the person quickly so they can be lowered to safety.
Its great strength is fit: the sheet can be adjusted to almost all body sizes thanks to its different eyelets, so one unit suits a whole range of casualties, which matters when the person to be rescued is unknown in advance. It is certified to EN 1498:2006 class B as a rescue loop, which is the standard for a rescue sling rather than a harness: it is for lowering or evacuating a person in an emergency and it is not a fall arrest harness. It is made from polyester and steel, weighs 0.95kg and comes in a unisize in orange and black. It carries a 10 year maximum service life, extended to 15 years when stored in a Seal Pac. Browse the wider rescue range, more rescue and retrieval gear, or the full Skylotec range. It pairs with the DEUS ONE self evacuation device and the Gryphon rope access harness.

Product Documents
What is an evacuation rescue harness?
It is a rescue sheet used in place of a conventional harness to abseil a casualty in an emergency. When there is no time to fit a full harness, the sheet wraps and secures the person quickly so they can be lowered.
Does one size fit everyone?
The sheet can be adjusted to almost all body sizes thanks to its different eyelets, so a single unit suits a wide range of casualties. That matters when the person to be rescued is not known in advance.
How long does it last?
It has a 10 year maximum service life, which extends to 15 years when the sheet is stored in a Skylotec Seal Pac. It is made from polyester and steel and weighs 0.95kg.
Can it be used as a fall arrest harness?
No. Skylotec certify it to EN 1498:2006 class B, which is the standard for rescue loops. It is there to get a person down in an emergency when there is no time to fit a harness, and it is not a substitute for a fall arrest harness during normal work at height.
