Gotcha Reddingskit
GOTCHA™ is een reddingskit waarmee een reddingswerker:
- Een slachtoffer kan vastmaken die aan een vangtouw
hangt.
- Het slachtoffer omhoog kan brengen om de bestaande
bevestiging los te maken.
- Het slachtoffer omhoog of omlaag kan brengen naar een
veilige plek.
Al deze mogelijkheden worden gerealiseerd zonder dat de
reddingswerker bij het slachtoffer hoeft te komen. Daartoe
moet de reddingswerker toegang hebben tot het punt waar
het slachtoffer zijn veiligheidstouw heeft verankerd. De
reddingskit blokkeert automatisch als hij wordt losgemaakt.
GOTCHA™ wordt op twee verschillende manieren gebruikt,
afhankelijk van het feit of het ankerpunt zich ter hoogte van
de voeten van de reddingswerker of hoger (idealiter 1,5 m
hoger) bevindt, want dit heeft belangrijke gevolgen.
Als de verankering zich op voethoogte bevindt, kan het
systeem het slachtoffer onvoldoende omhoog brengen
om hem weer naar zijn uitgangspositie te brengen.
Het slachtoffer moet omhoog worden gebracht om zijn
veiligheidstouw los te maken, waarna hij naar een veilige
plek wordt neergelaten. Bovendien moet de reddingswerker
zijn kracht gebruiken om het slachtoffer omhoog te brengen,
zodat het mechanische voordeel groter is (4:1).
Als het ankerpunt zich 1,5 m boven voethoogte bevindt,
bij voorkeur op hoofdhoogte, kan het slachtoffer omhoog
worden gebracht naar zijn uitgangspositie. Daarbij kan
de reddingswerker zijn gewicht benutten, waardoor het
mechanisch voordeel kleiner is (3:1).
The idea of the GOTCHA™ is to provide a rescue kit that will enable a rescuer to:
• Attach a casualty who is suspended by a fall arrest lanyard.
• Raise the casualty in order to release their current attachment.
• Raise or lower the casualty to a point of safety.
The above capabilities are all achievable without the need for the rescuer to access the casualty. In order to carry out this the
rescuer must be able to access the point at which the casualty anchored their lanyard. The control feature of the rescue kit
locks automatically if released.
The GOTCHA™ will be used in two different modes depending upon whether the anchor point is at the rescuers foot level o
r
above (ideally 1.5m above to have any material effect), as this has important effects.
If the anchor is at foot level then the system will not be able to raise the casualty sufficiently to bring them back to their start
point. The casualty must be raised in order to release their lanyard then lowered to safety. Also the rescuer is required to use
their strength when raising the casualty, so the mechanical advantage is greater (4:1).
If the anchor is 1.5m above foot level, preferably at head height it will be possible to raise the casualty to their start point. Fo
r
this the rescuer is able to use their weight to assist in the operation and therefore the mechanical advantage is lower (3:1).

Anker meer dan 1,5 m boven voethoogte.
1. Ga naar het ankerpunt van het slachtoffer.
2. Bevestig de ankerstrop op een geschikt verankeringspunt
boven het slachtoffer.
3. Bij deze werkwijze maakt de reddingswerker gebruik van
zijn gewicht.
De dubbele katrol wordt op de ankerstrop geklikt.
4. Regel de staak af op de gewenste lengte.
5. Bevestig de rode clip op het uiteinde van de staak en klik
de enkelvoudige katrol in de singel.
6. Regel de touwen tussen de katrollen af op dezelfde
lengte als de staak.
7. Zet de rode clip open.
8. Gebruik de staak om de rode clip te bevestigen op het
harnas van het slachtoffer.
9. Haal de staak uit de rode clip.
10. Bevestig de GRIGRI op het harnas van de reddingswerker.
11. Trek het overtollige touw door de GRIGRI om het systeem
op te spannen.
12. De reddingswerker gaat nu zitten, waardoor het
slachtoffer omhoog gaat.
13. De reddingswerker houdt het touw boven de GRIGRI met
één hand vast, dicht bij de bevestigingsstrop. Met de
andere hand haalt hij het overtollige touw in terwijl hij
opstaat.
14. Als het gewicht van het slachtoffer overgebracht is naar
de GOTCHA™, kan zijn veiligheidstouw worden
losgekoppeld.
15. Het slachtoffer kan nu omhoog worden gebracht naar een
veilige plek, of als volgt omlaag worden gebracht.
INSTALLATION & USE : INSTRUCTIONS
Anchor more than 1.5m above foot level.
1. Access casualty’s anchorage point.
2. Attach the anchor sling to a suitable anchor point
above the casualty.
3. The rescuers weight is used to assist in the operation.
The double pulley is clipped to the anchor sling.
4. Adjust pole to the required length.
5. Attach the red clip to the end of the pole, and clip the
single pulley into the webbing.
6. Adjust ropes in-between the pulleys to the same length
as the pole.
7. Set the red clip to open.
8. Using the pole, attach the red clip to the casualty’s
harness attachment.
9. Remove the pole from the red clip.
10. Attach the GRIGRI to the rescuers harness.
11. Pull the slack rope through the GRIGRI to tension the
system.
12. The rescuer now sits down, thus raising the casualty.
13. With one hand, the rescuer holds the rope above the
GRIGRI, close to the attachment sling. With the othe
r
hand they take in the slack rope as they stand up.
14. Once the casualty’s weight has been transferred to the
GOTCHA™, then their lanyard can be disconnected.
15. The casualty can now be raised to a point of safety, o
r
lowered as follows.
16. To lower the casualty the rescuer must take hold of the
rope that exits the GRIGRI, and this is used to control
the descent.
17. With the other hand releases the black handle on the
GRIGRI until the rope can be fed at a controllable
speed. This thus lowers the casualty.(Please see
note)

NOTE: In order to carry out a rescue the rescuer requires a harness with a front point of attachment for locating the GRIGRI.
If the anchor point for the GOTCHA™ is such that the casualty must be lowered, then the rope length in the kit must
be four times the distance from the anchorage to the point of safety.
