1. INTRODUCTION: Kstrong introduces the IRSQ RESCUE KIT specifically designed to be used to rescue a casualty who is currently
suspended by a fall arrest lanyard or Fall arrest Block. The Rescuer can raise the casualty to release their current attachment so they can be
raised or lowered to safety without the need for the rescuer to access the casualty.

The above capabilities are all achievable without the need for the rescuer to access the casualty.
To carry out this, the rescuer must be able to access the point at which the casualty has anchored their lanyard. The control feature of the
rescue kit locks automatically if released.
The IRSQ RESCUE KIT can be used in two different modes depending upon whether the anchor point is at the rescuer's foot level or above
(being 1.5 m above to have any material effect).
If the anchor is at foot level, then the system will not be able to raise the casualty sufficiently to bring them back to their start point. The casualty
must be raised to release their lanyard, then lowered to the ground if there is no obstruction. To help the rescuer to raise the casualty, the kit
has been designed with a mechanical advantage of (4:1).
If the anchor is 1.5 m above foot level, preferably at head height it will be possible to raise the casualty to their start point. Again the rescuer is
able to use their weight to assist in the operation with the help of the mechanical advantage of (4:1).
Attach a casualty who is suspended
by a fall arrest lanyards.
Raise the casualty in order to release
their current attachment.

4. INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION:
Keep these instructions, or a copy with the IRSQ RESCUE KIT to aid future inspection, and examination.
The equipment must be given a visual and tactile inspection when delivered to site/works, and before every use. We recommend recorded
inspection by a competent person every 6 months.
Particular attention should be paid to the following:
ŸHardware & Rope:
Inspect for signs of damage/distortion/corrosion, and correct operation & locking of connectors. Examine for any signs of
wear/abrasion, including inter strand wear, unravelling, extension and fusion.
Local abrasion as distinct from general wear may be caused by the passage of the rope over sharp edges or protrusions while under
tension and may cause serious loss of strength. Slight damage to outer fibres and occasional yarn may be considered harmless but
any reduction in diameter of the rope or serious distortion to the sheath pattern should lead to rejection.
All Personal Protective Equipment should be immediately removed from service after being subjected to any shock or if there is any
doubt about its condition.
The IRSQ RESCUE KIT may be cleaned if required. The following procedure must be adhered to:
ŸUse a mild detergent with hand hot water.
ŸUse a cloth, or sponge to wipe the SEIZE'EM RESCUE KIT and avoid over wetting.
ŸThis procedure should then be repeated with clean water to rinse,
ŸThen allow drying naturally away from any direct heat source. If you require more information, please contact KStrong Asia.
All equipment should be stored and transported with the following precautions:
ŸPrevent contact with sharp objects.
ŸKeep away from harmful substances.
ŸKeep in a cool dry place free from direct sunlight.
