The Tractel derope UP rescue device certification is a course designed to authorize designated personnel to utilize the derope descent device to rescue fellow personnel in the event that an emergency occurs up tower or at heights where traditional rescue means are impractical.
The derope® descent device can also be used for one man or two-man rescue operations. Victims can be lowered alone or accompanied by the rescuer following the standard procedures for rescue applications. If obstructions or obstacles prevent a vertical evacuation, the operation can be carried out down a cableway or tagline positioned at an angle between 30º and 60º.
