Stability and security reduce slip and fall risks for firefighting, emergency and rescue professionals. Harnesses and ladder escape belts perform these roles, attaching to a nearby object or equipment like a ladder or aerial bucket. Beyond ordinary safety gear and personal protective equipment (PPE), brands like Gemtor craft their ladder belts to the environments firefighters face each day: high heat, close flames and working from heights to improve ventilation or rescue trapped victims.
Gemtor's Pompier Ladder Escape Belt is made with high-strength woven nylon webbing to withstand common firefighting hazards, even in proximity, and keep the user stable at many heights and in multiple positions. The company's history in fire rescue and fall protection dates to 1967, and this extensive knowledge is applied to the design, materials and construction of every firefighter escape belt.
Protect Responders with Pompier Firefighter Ladder Belts
A widely used fire and emergency department staple, Gemtor designed its Pompier Ladder Belt for two types of missions. Once hooked to a nearby object or ladder, it securely keeps the wearer in place as they perform various maneuvers. Simultaneously, the belt functions as an emergency self-rescue device in case the wearer slips or the surface beneath their feet gives way. So that fire and rescue professionals are fully equipped to perform, the Pompier's customizable construction can include an axe sheath, leg straps or hook-extension strap.
Fire Safety USA offers the Pomper Ladder Escape Firefighter Belt with an 18-inch extension strap so users have more mobility when navigating rooftops, trees and high structures. The high-visibility yellow and red belt has a leather adjustment strap and a large auto-locking carabiner hook with a tensile strength of 5,000 pounds. Sizes from small to XXL are available for a secure fit. Each belt meets the latest NFPA and UL requirements for escape and ladder belt performance.
