Perform correct pre-use inspection and inspection of PFPE, rescue, and evacuation devices
ELEMENT 2.3 - SKILL STATION: SYSTEMS TO PREVENT FALL FROM HEIGHT
Learning objective:
16) The participants can perform the appropriate use of different types of guided type fall arresters (e.g. slider, glider) and SRL while showing awareness of fall factors (Skills, intermediate level)
17) The participants can act independently in using the principle of selecting anchor points which reduce the fall factor to as low as possible (Ability, intermediate level)
The participants shall:
Perform the correct use, management, and control of PFPE used for working at height from a generic approach and relevance for the situation
Safely and correctly attach a guided type of fall arrester to the fall arrest system
Safely and correctly attach a fall restraint and fall arrest lanyard to a vertical ladder system
a. Explain that a reinforced ladder rung of sufficient strength may be used as an anchor point
Safely and correctly use self-retracting lifelines as fall protection system at the skill station
Attach fall restraint lanyards correctly:
a. To the ladder stiles and, where clearly identified as suitable, to reinforced ladder rungs. In all other cases, the hooks should be connected around the stiles.
b.
To certified and structural anchor points
In addition to manufacturers requirements, internal organisational and site-specific safety guidelines on attaching fall arrest lanyards should always be followed
Note
Alongside manufacturers requirements, internal organisational and site-specific safety guidelines on attaching fall arrest lanyards should always be followed
Note
While adhering to legal regulations and standards, the training provider must continuously ensure that the training material is updated and aligned with industry guidelines from G+, specifically Working at Height in the Offshore Wind Industry
