AAP Tallescope Rescue Demonstration - 9th April

25th Mar 2013

Aluminium Access Products have now developed a kit of parts that can be added to an existing Tallescope in order to make the equipment comply with the Work at Height Regulations.

They have now developed a kit of parts that can be added to an existing Tallescope which is a stand-alone method of retrieving a casualty from the elevated basket of a 'scope. This has been the method that both the ABTT and the HSE have been encouraging AAP to develop as opposed to total reliance upon other methods such hoists in theatre grids/flyfloors etc. This is, therefore, a significant development.

The ABTT has arranged for two demonstrations in London on Tuesday the 9th of April at 10:30 at Earl's Court 2 and a second at the Playhouse Theatre in Northumberland Avenue commencing around 13:30.

We encourage all interested parties to attend one or both of these sessions. Pre-registration is encouraged due to security restrictions at both sites. Please register your intention to attend with office@abtt.org.uk supplying your full name and organisation/employer.
