We’ve just released a new series of Rescue Specialist videos alongside our new Rescue Check Cards.

These videos alongside the check cards are intended to support your teams as an on-site reference for briefings, toolbox talks and rescue discussions.

Too often, rescue planning stops at:

➡️ “We’ll call the emergency services”

But in reality, teams must be able to:
- Rescue their own personnel
- Do so quickly and safely
- Protect rescuers as well as casualties
- Operate with confidence under pressure

Our new rescue playlist focuses on the practical elements of rescue.

They don’t replace training or rescue planning but they do help teams understand and work through their rescue arrangements when it matters most.

📖 Strengthen your rescue planning process:

Work positioning in suspension isn’t just about comfort, it’s about control and rescue readiness.

In this episode, we look at suspended work positioning using a full-body harness and adjustable work positioning device.

Key points covered:

- Why harness choice matters when working in suspension
- Maintaining control of the tail rope at all times
- Ensuring you can re-ascend the system if needed
- Why a robust rescue plan is non-negotiable

If you’re positioning someone in free suspension, you must be confident they can work safely and be recovered quickly if things change.

A rescue plan isn’t just paperwork.

It’s confidence.
It’s efficiency.
It’s teamwork without fear.

When people know there’s a rescue plan that works, it changes everything. Camaraderie grows, efficiency improves, and safety feels real, not theoretical.

The problem? Rescue planning often feels like a minefield.

That’s where we step in. We help organisations:

- Write clear, credible rescue plans
- Develop method statements
- Train teams so they know what to do when it matters

Who Is the ICX Power Ascender For? (And Who It’s Not)

The ICX Power Ascender isn’t designed for every job and that’s a good thing.

It's a single-person rated power ascender. It’s built for efficiency, portability, and repeatable work. Not heavy rescue or two-person pick-offs.

Commonly used in telecoms, utilities, arboriculture, rigging, wind energy, and industrial maintenance, where speed, control, and reduced fatigue matter.

If your work involves two-person pick-offs or high-capacity rescue loads, the full video explains why a different machine may be more appropriate.

“It Looks Plastic” Is the ICX Actually Safe?

This is another comment we hear a lot:

“𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤.”
“𝘐𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘣𝘪𝘨, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩?”
“𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘴?”

This clip explains the ICX design, weight, certification, and why it’s built the way it is for real-world rope access use.

ICX Emergency Descent: What Happens If Power Is Lost?

One of the most common concerns we hear about powered ascenders is simple:

“𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵?”
“𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘧𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘶𝘱?”
“𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘱?”

It’s a fair question and it’s one we take seriously.

This short clip shows exactly what happens if the ICX loses power, and how the emergency descent system works in real use.
