rescue system for user of fall arrest underground mining equipment

rescue system for user of fall arrest underground mining equipment

(OP)
Hi

Has anyone seen a rescue system composed of a Davit arm equipped with a winch that you fix to something with a strapping system (like the straps use to secure cargo on a truck).  We want to use such a flexible system that will be fixed on a temporary basis on the giraffe's basket to go over orepasses to be able to rescue someone that was using a fall arrest system.  

I found only one supplier so far and I am having problems with certification.

RE: rescue system for user of fall arrest underground mining equipment

The problem you will have here would be that Temporary basis would then become permanent because management says "it works".There are a few design rules here that would probably clash with the idea of using the winch/ratchet.If someone was using a fall arrest system and was in need  of rescuing would or could you eliminate the hazard by redesign?
I like the idea but Im sure there is a safety equipment supplier or mountain climbing equipment manufacturer that could definately be of help.
