Overview

DIN 14800-16 contains the assembly of a pulley block appliance set with equipment parts and aids for the fire brigade, which is used to rescue a person from heights and depths of up to 30 m by mean of simple rescue measures (not accompanied by emergency personnel in the rope). Included is a safety note that redundant protection against falling from heights shall always be provided when using the pulley block appliance set during training and during use in areas where there is risk of falling, for example with the appliance set for protection against falling from heights in accordance with DIN 14800-17. It is assumed that the appliance set described in the standard is only used by persons instructed in its use and that they use the necessary protective equipment. The standard has been prepared following preparatory work by the Working Group NA 031-04-09-11 AK "DIN 14800-16 and -17 - Pulley blocks for rescue from heights and depths" in the Working Committee NA 031-04-09 AA "Other equipment" of DIN Standards Committee Firefighting and Fire Protection (FNFW).
