SAR Tech Tips: Petzl Grillon

The Petzl Grillon is most commonly known as a work position device (EN 358). However, this versatile device meets several other standards that often get overlooked.

One of the standards the Grillon meets is EN 795: 2012 type B, meaning it can be used as a temporary anchor such as an anchor strap configuration, or potentially as a quick adjustable leg of a Y-hang.

The Grillon also meets EN 795: 2012 type C standard, for use as a horizontal lifeline. In this case, the longer lanyard options would typically be used.
