B-Safe Rescue Kit, 4:1 Pulley System, Rope Clamp and Descender (BR661(4:1))
Available
The B-Safe rescue kit, code BR661(4:1), is a pre-assembled rescue kit with a 4:1 pulley system, designed to rescue a suspended worker from shock absorbing lanyards, rope safety lines and inertia reels, with the rescue carried out from a point of safety (manufacturer-stated). Beaver's website lists the contents as aluminium double pulleys, six steel karabiners, kernmantle rope, an aluminium rope clamp, a lightweight telescopic pole up to 3 m, an aluminium hook, cross arm straps, a descender and a heavy duty bag with shoulder straps and pole stowage (manufacturer-stated).
Beaver's website says it can be used to attach to a casualty suspended by a fall arrest lanyard, raise the casualty to release their current attachment, and raise or lower the casualty to a point of safety. It states the kit complies with AS 4142.3:1993 and is for static life rescue lines only (manufacturer-stated).
Beaver does not state a safe working load, a rope diameter or a weight for this kit. Beaver's contents list says 50 m of rope, but the length is not confirmed, so it is not stated here. Ask AIMS for the capacity, rope length and certificate before you order. B-Safe's manuals say a rescue plan should form part of the use of fall protection equipment, because prolonged hanging in a harness while waiting for rescue could allow the onset of suspension intolerance (manufacturer-stated).
Fall protection equipment must be selected, installed, used, inspected and maintained by trained people in line with the manufacturer's instructions and the relevant Australian Standards. Ask AIMS for the instructions and test certificates before you order, and never use it for any purpose other than the one it was made for.

Selecting the right option
A rescue kit is only useful if the people who will use it are trained in it and the plan has been practised. B-Safe's manuals say a rescue plan should form part of the use of fall protection equipment, because prolonged hanging in a harness while waiting for rescue could allow the onset of suspension intolerance (manufacturer-stated).
