Electrical Rescue Equipment

Insulated Crook

In electrical emergencies, a quick response can make a critical
difference. A reliable rescue hook allows workers to safely remove a
person from live electrical contact without exposing the rescuer to
direct electrical contact.

At Electrical Factory Outlet, we supply a range of rescue crooks and
hooks designed to cover different electrical risks and voltage levels.

The EFO low voltage rescue crook is constructed from fibreglass and
includes an insulated handle that provides an additional layer of
insulation while clearly identifying the correct end to hold.

These low voltage rescue crooks have been type tested to 10kV and are
the rescue crooks used in our Low Voltage Rescue Kits.

The EFO high voltage rescue hook is available for 15kV systems at
1.3 metres in length and 24kV systems at 1.5 metres in length.

Emergency Response

Why Choose a Rescue Hook for Your Workplace?

Electrical incidents can occur unexpectedly, and direct contact with a
live electrical system can be life-threatening.

A rescue hook is designed to safely pull an individual away from an
electrical source without placing the rescuer in direct contact with
the electrical hazard.

This makes an insulated crook an essential emergency safety tool in
workplaces where electrical hazards are present.

A rescue hook should be positioned so it can be accessed immediately
when an electrical emergency occurs.

Rescue Kit Equipment

Low Voltage Rescue Crooks and Emergency Rescue Kits

An insulated crook is usually stored near or with an electrical rescue
kit so the rescuer has the necessary equipment available when
responding to an electrocution incident.

Insulated Rescue Equipment

A rescue kit may contain insulated gloves and a fibreglass low voltage
rescue crook to help isolate the rescuer from electrical hazards.

Emergency Response Supplies

Additional rescue kit items may include a fire blanket, torch, burns
dressing, emergency isolation sign, CPR mask and thermal accident shock
blanket.

High Voltage Rescue Hooks

Higher-voltage environments require an HV rescue hook with a suitable
voltage rating and sufficient length for the electrical system and
workplace risk.

Helpful Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an insulated crook required in workplaces?

In many high-risk environments, having an insulated crook is
strongly recommended and may form part of workplace electrical
safety procedures.

It supports a quicker emergency response and helps employers ensure
suitable rescue equipment is available wherever electrical systems
present a risk.

How does a rescue hook improve workplace safety?

A rescue hook improves workplace safety by providing a safer way to
respond to electrical incidents without making direct contact with
the affected person or live electrical source.

It helps prevent further injury by allowing a rescuer to act
quickly while maintaining distance from the electrical hazard.

What materials are used in an insulated crook?

An insulated crook is typically manufactured from fibreglass or
another strong, non-conductive material.

These materials are selected for their durability, strength and
ability to provide electrical insulation when the rescue hook is
used correctly.

How do I choose the right rescue hook?

When selecting a rescue hook, consider its insulation rating,
overall length, visibility, construction and suitability for the
voltage present in the workplace.

A well-designed insulated crook should be easy to handle, durable
and appropriate for the specific electrical environment and
emergency response procedure.

Where should rescue hooks be stored?

A rescue hook should be stored in a clearly visible and easily
accessible location near the relevant electrical work area.

Quick access is critical during an emergency, so the insulated
crook should be securely mounted, clearly labelled and kept free
from obstructions.

Do rescue hooks require maintenance or inspection?

Yes. A rescue hook should be inspected regularly to ensure it
remains in good condition and ready for emergency use.

Check the fibreglass body and insulated handle for cracks, wear,
contamination or other damage that could affect safe operation.

A damaged insulated crook should be removed from service and
assessed or replaced.

Can an insulated crook be used for other purposes?

No. An insulated crook should be reserved for emergency electrical
rescue situations.

Using it for lifting, pulling or other general tasks may damage the
fibreglass or insulated components and reduce its effectiveness
during an actual emergency.

Are rescue hooks suitable for all electrical environments?

Rescue hooks can be used in many workplaces where electrical
hazards are present, but the selected product must have a suitable
voltage rating, construction and length.

Different workplaces may require a low voltage rescue crook, a 15kV
HV rescue hook or a 24kV high voltage rescue hook depending on the
electrical system and assessed risk.

How does an insulated crook help with compliance?

Providing an insulated crook helps demonstrate that a workplace has
considered electrical emergency response and made appropriate
rescue equipment available.

It supports workplace procedures intended to protect workers and
minimise the risks associated with electrical incidents.

Rescue equipment should always be selected, stored, maintained and
used in accordance with applicable workplace requirements and
emergency-response procedures.
