P.R.E.S.S.
Pre-Rigged Escape Safety System

All Hands Fire Equipment is an authorized dealer for RIT Rescue & Escape System products. RIT is the World Leader in firefighter escape / bail-out / personal safety systems. RIT systems are certified by UL to NFPA standards.

P.R.E.S.S. Description

The RIT Rescue & Escape Systems Pre-Rigged Escape Safety System or "P.R.E.S.S." for Class II Harness is designed to provide the firefighter the wide range of options for use.

The P.R.E.S.S. is designed to work with our Class II Harness, which has true leg straps and rear support straps for durability and lasting comfort. Our patented designed anchor strap prevents the user from tipping from side to side and also eliminates the fear of inversion. The Class-2 harness has an optional attached ladder hook can be used for positioning while working on ladders or in buckets.

The pre-rigged Egress System allows for the user to find an anchor and GO!!! No need to attach to attach to harness, rig hardware or tie knots. The egress system can be customized with a wide range of escape lines and descending devices.

P.R.E.S.S. Intended Use

This system is designed for a single person, single use Emergency Evacuation from a dangerous elevated area.

This system is not intended for fall protection.

Special training and knowledge is required to use the RIT Egress System. The device should never be used for any other purpose other than that for which it was designed, i.e. self rescue. It should not be used as a tool belt, or to raise or lower objects. Misuse of the system could result in severe injury or death!!

As per the NFPA and CE Standard, the escape line in the personal escape system is a single use escape line only. If used in a fire situation, exposed to shock load, fire or chemicals, then it must be removed from service. If the user is at any time unsure of the condition of the system, it must not be used.

If an alternative escape route is available, the user should take the safest route to evacuate the danger area. This escape system should only be used when there is no other means of egress or escape to a safe area.

No components of the Escape System are intended to be used alone or with any other escape system or harness.
