TESTIMONIALS

"A lifesaving piece of kit that is proving extremely useful. It will save lives."

Kevin Baird

Marina Manager Quay Marinas

Watersafe UK is a charity and first started using the pole in a real rescue about three years ago. We used the 9 metre pole with the flotation collar attachment. The woman we saved was panicking and a throwline would not have saved her. Being able to reach her with the pole and force the collar over her is what did.

It has revolutionised the way that we do rescues – we have saved over a dozen people using the pole.

We absolutely recommend the Reach and Rescue telescopic pole rescue system. We run courses in water awareness and always introduce the pole to our participants as we know it is that good.

The crew actually used the pole to rescue a male from water. Access was a problem due to the height difference from the bank to the water; they needed to stop the male from drifting away downstream from them.

The rescue was made easier by the sheer fact the pole was quick to get to work. They could affect the rescue initially to a point of safety near the bank away from the flow, which then allowed the crew time to put a further system of work in place to get the male from the water.

We used the Reach and Rescue poles in a difficult recovery of a body from the River Liffey. The pole and attachments all came into play during the recovery. We were able to recover the remains without putting our rescue crews at any undue risk in what were difficult conditions.

I would highly recommend the Reach and Rescue poles to any emergency service that are involved in rescue from water on health and safety grounds and as a very useful, practical piece of equipment.

The volunteers of Lagan Search & Rescue's acute water rescue service have had the pleasure of testing the Reach and Rescue carbon-fibre, telescopic rescue pole.

This vital lifesaving equipment is light and versatile and we have trialed this with great success in both the River Lagan and with our rescue boat in coastal environments. We look forward to placing future orders with Reach and Rescue and can recommend this product to all those involved in lifesaving.

Since purchasing the Reach and Rescue pole we have used the equipment on 3 occasions to successfully recover persons who have accidentally fallen into the water.

The pole has proved invaluable on every occasion allowing us to recover them back to dry land quickly and efficiently. The Reach and Rescue pole has a robust design and is lightweight to us. Just knowing you have the equipment available for situations like this gives great piece of mind.

Poole Quay Boat Haven & Port of Poole Marina have now adopted Reach and Rescue poles as part of our marina safety. It’s a great piece of equipment to have on site, especially considering how far it can reach.

Very pleased with the wading poles. We used the in Exercise Berwyn at Bala and at the Dee River Festival and on SRT Training. Very solid construction. We have some more training next month also.

The Reach and Rescue pole system is a very good additional rescue tool which adds value to the other tools that we have and at all times keeps the operator safe.

Our workers can reach the sea without exposing themselves to danger. The pole can hook onto a wide range of things, human or other with any additional risk. It has been incorporated into our man overboard procedure.
