The UK ISAR team have added the WASP to their emergency rescue kit.
They purchased four units after being impressed by the Warning Alarm for Stability Protection in training.
It means the WASP will travel with the UK ISAR (United Kingdom International Search And Rescue Team) whenever they travel to overseas emergency.
Sean Moore, OBE, National Coordinator of UK ISAR, said: “The UK ISAR team is extremely pleased to have secured new structural monitoring equipment in order to improve rescuer safety when attending sudden onset disasters overseas.
“The Warning Alarm for Stability Protection Devices (WASP) will be deployed to every earthquake that the team attends and will be an invaluable addition to our equipment manifest.
Disasters
“Unfortunately major disasters can strike at any time and we will be exposed to a multitude of risks. This simple yet innovative device will help to keep our team personnel safe from the dangers of shifting loads and ensure that we maintain our excellent safety record.”

Sean collected the four UK ISAR WASP units, housed in two double Peli Cases, during a visit to DATUM Monitoring, the manufacturers of the WASP.
Delighted
DATUM CEO Rory O’Rourke, said: “We are delighted to hand over the WASP units to Sean and the UK ISAR team who put themselves in such precarious situations to try and save the lives of those in need.
“The members of the UK ISAR team are unsung heroes. They are prepared to fly into the face of danger without a second thought and if we can play a small part in keeping them safe it is a huge honour.”
