3M Expands Personal Safety Fall Protection Portfolio with Rescue Device
Melissa Larson | September 10, 2014
3M has expanded its personal safety portfolio to include two new rescue devices designed to help protect people working at height.
The 3M™ and DEUS™ Escape and Rescue System enables workers to steadily control their descent from heights up to 590 feet. The easy-to-use system, which weighs less than three pounds, can be used to facilitate escape and rescue procedures for individuals and/or multiple stranded workers in a short time.
The 3M and DEUS Escape and Rescue Systems help provide safety for workers in industries like oil and gas, electrical distribution, utilities, wind energy, general industry and manufacturing. The 3M and DEUS kits allow for individual and multi-person escape, assisted rescue, and self-rescue after a fall.
The new escape and rescue system is available with two controlled descent options – the 3300 device and the 3700 device. The 3300 device allows for rescue from heights up to 350 feet, at a descent rate of 3 meters/second (9.8 feet/second). The 3700 device has been third-party tested and certified to the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard and offers users a descent rate of 2 meters/second (6.6 feet/second) from heights up to 590 feet.
