Provides fast, easy and intuitive fall protection with an integral bi-directional retrieval capability. Not only does the Workman Rescuer arrest the fall, its retrieval capability allows the fallen worker to ascend or descend to a safe location. Exclusive integral bracket uses existing tripod pin, leaving fewer components to attach or become damged or misplaced. The fall protection/retrieval mode knob simply pulls and rotates to activate. Use this device as a component of a confined space system for one application and as a standard self-retracting lanyard for another.
