the cable carabineer, and crank the winch until the worker can climb onto the roof, can be pulled onto the roof
by rescuers, or can be lowered to the level below.

gage the Locking Mechanism by pulling the locking mechanism handle. Use a wooden or metal beam to apply
leverage to the Engagement Arm to disengage the claw and/or talon from the roof surface. Use caution when
disengaging the moving parts. Keep hands and feet free of all pinch points.

12.0 Importance of the Raptor RESCUE RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
12.1 OSHA 1926.502(d) requires employers to provide prompt rescue of employees in the event of a fall or employ-
ers shall assure that employees are able to rescue themselves. To that end, most general contractors require
site-specific rescue plans. This is extremely time-consuming and leaves the possibility of oversight or unac-
counted-for site changes. The alternative is installing and using the Raptor RESCUE RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
It can be used wherever the Raptor TRIREX
ers a simple means to retrieve the fallen worker, in every situation.
12.2 A well-thought-out rescue plan is USELESS if no one is aware of a fall. Jobsites are noisy, and workers are
focused on the task at hand. Therefore a co-worker is likely to fall without nearby rescuers taking any action.
