c. How to rig the device with deflection applying a friction carabiner for an active mode setup
d. How to secure the rope
e. The use of a rope clamp for rescue (enabling lifting/safe disconnection of a loaded rope type fall protection lanyard) Stress the generic approach in the parts of a rescue device focusing on similarities and differences in design, functionality and operation between different products Explain the potential task placed upon the participant in their own organisation on course completion, requiring them to familiarise themselves with other safety equipment products
ELEMENT 17.2 - CORRECT USE OF RESCUE DEVICES & SLINGS
The instructor shall:
Explain that pre-use inspection of the evacuation device may be omitted only if it is permitted by the manufacturer’s manual and the manufacturer criteria. Demonstrate how to perform pre-use inspection of the rescue device products required/chosen to instruct this Module, by the following principles and covering:
a. Markings and labels
b. Equipment is within period of formal inspections
c. The rope has no damage and the end terminations are in good condition
d. The rope runs freely through the device in both directions
e. Checking for integrity and the absence of damage, corrosion, saltwater/chemical/lubricant/dirt exposure or contamination
f. Checking for the absence of significant wear of the device
g. Carabiners/connectors operate, and lock as intended and cannot disconnect completely
h. Rope securing mechanism works properly
i. Observe product operating temperature range
Demonstrate how to rig the device onto a ladder stile and reinforced rung utilising slings, on one side and in a centre position of the ladder system – aiming to enable moving parts of the device to run freely
Explain and demonstrate the principles of lifting angle, angle factor and edge protection
Demonstrate how to rig the device in passive mode setup, and active (inverted) mode setup with deflection applying a friction carabiner Stress the generic approach in pre-use inspecting and using a rescue device focusing on similarities and differences in design, functionality and operation between different products Explain the potential task placed upon the participant in their own organisation on course completion, requiring them to familiarise themselves with other safety equipment products
