Synopsis

The only Line Rescue field guide for the European market! From the core skills of safe work at height, through rope access, hauling systems and advanced stretcher rescues, ProGuide Line Operations covers every aspect in clear, precise detail. An invaluable pocket reference for UK/EU Fire Services, industrial rope rescue teams, cliff/coastguard teams, police and military rope access operatives, and many more. If it's not in this book, you don't need to know it! Each A6-size coil-bound ProGuide is printed on 100% waterproof paper, which can be repeatedly soaked, washed, scrubbed and disinfected without damage. Unlike many other 'waterproof' notebooks, ProGuide paper is produced from polymer film - it can be written on, is resistant to tearing, and will not stick together even after months in a damp pocket. The latest printing technology creates crystal-clear text and graphics that won't scratch or peel away, no matter how much you try. Line Operations contains over 100 pages and provides a complete reference for everyone working at height - from the basic personal safety and access techniques used by all firefighters; the legal rules and risk assessment checklists for work at height and the associated hazards (such as RF exposure and confined spaces), use of PPE, knots and anchors, restraint and fall arrest techiques; to the skills needed for professional rope access rescue and stretcher hauling. We cover pulley systems and quadpods, shaft entry and leading edge work, advanced techniques for colleague rescue and highlines. The content is fully compliant with UK and European laws, standards and best practices, with detailed diagrams designed to be crystal-clear to understand, even in the dark and the pouring rain.
