IRS – Integrated rescue system
One belt, many functions

Our innovative strap system series by TEXPORT® can be employed optionally as an integrated rescue system (IRS) for all TEXPORT® jackets with the functions Bear and Loop.

 

Highest degree of protection, best design, optimal functionality

The varied belt systems stand out through heat protection, comfort and simple handling. Thanks to the extensive range of accessories, there is also the possibility to put together systems individually and in doing so to meet the most varied requirements of a fire department. Another advantage is that the harness / rescue strap can very easily be threaded in and out through the well-thoughtout design. Therefore, standard inspection, maintenance and correct cleaning of the jacket are made easier.

IRS
Ready for every firefighting call

The Fire Explorer contains a specially installed Loop-channel system, which facilitates the simple use of the TEXPORT® strap systems. Thanks to the Loop-System, the harness stays in a comfortable and stable position around the body and if needed can be quickly ready to use ein any situation when needed and assures a perfect fit in every situation. The Loop-function strap makes it possible to open the multi-function bag which contains the entire system efficiently and effectively. This makes the system safe.

IRS
Securing the standing position

The harness / rescue strap ensures safety of the standing position and enables a working position that avoids freefalling. The possible fall distance must be limited to a maximum of 0.5 m. Areas of use include work on ladders, for example, in which case the personnel can lean into the tense extended system and keep both hands free without a risk of falling.

IRS
Holding and supporting

The harness / rescue system serves to avoid a fall when emergency services are working on rooftops or similar. As a restraint system, this enables a secured descent into uneven terrain, such as slopes. The firefighter is secured in position and held back from the falling edge. In the case that the falling edge cannot be reached, the possibility of a fall can be eliminated. The possible fall distance must be limited to a maximum of 0.5 m.

The IRS from TEXPORT® is based on the modular principle

with currently three different harnesses, each with its own closure system. The harnesses can be supplemented with a self-protection loop or a webbing sling in combination with various carabiners to form a complete IRS (Integrated Rescue System). This means that the IRS can be flexibly adapted to the needs and requirements of the fire service. When the belt is not needed it disappears inconspicuously but protected in the assembly tunnel which is integrated fully through the jacket. This means that no important components inside the jacket, such as, for example, the membrane, are damaged. Our threading-in aid makes it much easier to thread and unthread the belt – as is necessary before as well as after a washing process.

Please have the IRS inspected once a year by a competent person and carry out a visual inspection after each use.
Because here, too, the following applies: Safety first.
