The RGA1 is a retractable mini web block ideal for personal issue to operatives working at height. The unit is designed to be connected, and worn directly on a fall arrest harness.
The RGA1 has an almost instant lock off in the event of a fall, and recoils into the drum when slack is introduced into the lanyard. The reduced trip hazard and compact design make this unit ideal for tight work and tasks where a shorter arc of mobility is required. The RGA1 can also be fitted to most horizontal lifelines, but always check with the manufacturer prior to fitting.
The RGA 1 has a working length of 2.5 metres.

The RGB2 is essentially an RGB1 with alternative buckle and gear loops fitted, and is a work positioning/restraint belt (see the info sheet on restraint vs. fall arrest). This belt is fitted with two side mounted dee rings for ease of attachment and the back pad provides some lumber support and comfort, especially when tools are hung from the belt loops.
As with the RGB1, the RGB2 is normally used in conjunction with an RGL5 restraint lanyard, or a rope and grab system. The uses for this restraint belt are similar to the RGB1 (see RGB1 data sheet), however to prevent the user from dropping tools from height, all tools can be secured to the gear loops by a cord lanyard and also clipped to the belt when not in use.
