GWO Basic Safety Training V14.0
2021-04-01_TS_BST_V14
a. Attaching the evacuation device to an anchor point (passive mode setup)
b. Attaching the evacuation device to the harness (active mode setup, applying a deflection/friction carabiner on the rescue device) and using a fall restraint lanyard kept as short as possible as a connecting element between the rescue/evacuation device and the harness c. When using a friction device ensure that the rope runs through the device as intended according to the manufacturer’s instructions
d. Detach his fall restraint/fall arrest system, if attached to an anchor point
e. Provi de fall prevention by keeping the evacuation device rope’s end taut
f. Safe and correct access to egress location (e.g. opening the escape hatch door, rolled roof edge etc.)
g. Deploying the rope bag and inspecting for knots/length (passive mode setup)
h. Secure the rope bag to the harness (active mode setup)
i. Holding onto the rescue/evacuation device rope while getting into position for descent (e.g. getting out of the hatch) j. Transferring full body weight to the rescue/evacuation device rope before descent (e.g. while sitting in the open hatch and putting tension on the rope)
k. Evacuating to ground level
l.
Disconnecting the evacuation device
ELEMENT 14.4 - SAFE BEHAVIOUR
The instructor shall:
Explain safe behaviour in connection with evacuation
Participants shall:
Demonstrate the ability to perform a passive mode and active mode setup evacuation from height (as demonstrated during this lesson) using full PPE and a random evacuation device (demonstrated during this module).
Demonstrate the ability to disconnect the device after reaching the ground level.
Demonstrate the ability to use techniques like attaching equipment to their harness to reduce the risk of dropped objects.
Lesson 14 Notes
During the evacuation scenarios the participants who are not performing the exercise shall be in a safe area (at ground level) where they can familiarise themselves with setting up evacuation equipment and rigging the equipment for an evacuation
