FLS Personal Rescue Device
Flexible Lifeline Systems is set to revolutionize the rescue process with the introduction of the Personal Rescue Device (PRD) which utilizes innovative design technology.
The lightweight, unobtrusive PRD is contained in a small ‘back pack’ attached to a harness. In the event of a fall the device lowers the faller gently to the ground in a controlled descent.
The whole rescue process only takes a few seconds due to the engineering in the ‘back pack’ which contains:
|
 |
A parachute type ‘rip cord’ that releases the
descending system |
|
|
|
A brake mechanism and spool with a 66' (20m) cord gently lowers the faller to the ground. Longer lengths, 99' and 115', coming this summer. Custom lengths available for quantity orders. |
|
|
|
A standard harness that can be easily released allowing
quick evacuation from the fall zone |
|
| |
| The PRD is built into a standard harness which is supplied by Flexible LIfeline Systems or can be retrofitted into an existing harness.

Mechanical Integrity
The innovative design uses quality componentry and a limited number of moving parts ensuring 100% mechanical integrity which is defined by the design standards the device meets and exceeds.
Creating Your Risk Assessment Using the PRD
FLS recognizes the complexity of creating risk assessments and the myriad of procedures that often need to be detailed to cover the rescue element of the assessment.
The FLS PRD offers the opportunity to simplify these processes and, to cover all the eventualities likely to arise, have a built in secondary descent release mechanism. |

Ease of Use
The patented componentry has been designed to fit neatly into the ‘back pack’ to ensure the worker can safely go about their daily work. The ‘back pack’ zips onto the harness so that it becomes part of everyday work wear for those who work at height. It’s lightweight and unobtrusive
but also robust ensuring it can withstand the rigours
of the harshest working environments.
