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. connectors (carabiners) 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/deviation applying a friction connector (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
Create a learning activity such as simple quiz, questionnaire or ask the participants open ended questions about the correct usage of rescue devices
The participants shall:
Engage in answering the activity and share understandings about correct usage of rescue devices
