Fireproof lifelines are critical safety tools used in rescue operations or as safety lines for personnel working in high-risk, fire-prone environments. These ropes are made from materials like Kevlar, fiberglass, or aramid, which can withstand extreme heat and flames without deteriorating. Fireproof lifelines are often used in industrial facilities, oil rigs, or emergency rescue situations where workers are exposed to fire hazards. They meet stringent safety standards like NFPA 1983 and SASO 2301 to ensure reliability and performance during emergencies.
