Safety Requirements

Through interaction, every combination of different equipment can give rise to unforeseen hazardous
•
situations and negatively affect the safety of the user.
All instructions for the protection of the user and the rescue stretcher with carrying function given in these
•
instructions for use must be strictly observed. The rating plate must always be visible and legible.
In order to avoid a suspension trauma, an emergency plan on the part of the user must be available for every
•
type of use of the rescue stretcher with carrying function. A suspension trauma is a life-threatening state of
shock that occurs after long, motionless hanging in a harness system. This can lead to unconsciousness and
to cardiac arrest.
This emergency plan must ensure that the vertical hanging time of the person in the rescue stretcher is kept
•
as short as possible and so prevent massive damage to health.
It is vital that the belt fitting of the rescue stretcher to the person is regularly checked during its use.
