Which color webbing corresponds to a length of 4.5 meters?

• A. Green
• B. Blue
• C. Yellow
• D. Red

Answer: (B)

Color coding on webbing is how you quickly identify length without measuring. In this standard, blue corresponds to 4.5 meters, so grabbing blue webbing gives you approximately the 4.5 m length you need for rigging, anchors, or extending lines. This speed and accuracy are crucial in rescue setups, where every meter matters and decisions must be made quickly. Always double-check your department’s color-to-length chart or the labeling on the webbing itself, since color schemes can vary by manufacturer or unit.
