What is High Angle Rescue?
Not every emergency happens at ground level. Many industrial projects involve work at heights such as towers, scaffolding, storage tanks, bridges, or inside vertical shafts. In these environments, a fall or medical emergency can leave a worker stranded in a location where traditional rescue is impossible.
That’s where high angle rescue comes in. Using advanced rope systems and specialized equipment, trained rescuers can safely reach, stabilize, and recover workers from vertical or elevated environments.
Why It Matters
- Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities.
- Emergency responders may not have the equipment or training to perform complex rope rescues.
- Without a plan, response times are longer, and risks increase.
