The instructor shall:
Demonstrate how to perform a safe and correct evacuation, which shall include:
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 connector (carabiner) on the rescue device) and, during a double evacuation, 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 the fall restraint/fall arrest system, if attached to an anchor point
e. provide fall prevention by keeping the evacuation device rope’s end taut
f. safe and correct access to egress location (e.g. opening escape hatch door, rolled roof edge, etc)
