How a Fisk Descender Works

Attach Rope to Device – Thread the rope through the descender as per manufacturer instructions.

Automatic Braking – If the user lets go, the device locks, preventing free fall.

Confined Space & Rescue Systems

A confined space is defined as a work environment with limited or restricted entry and exit, typically characterized by access points smaller than 24 inches in diameter. All job sites classified as confined spaces must be equipped with OSHA-approved rescue equipment to ensure the safe retrieval of employees who may be unable to exit the hazardous area without assistance.
