Section 5. 7 and 12.2 Participants pre-requisites: New pre-requisites added:
Prerequisites for participating in the Sea Survival module is a valid GWO Working at Height training certificate– because: 1) To ensure safe climbing and descending on ladders. WaH gear is not the syllabus for sea survival – just tools to conduct exercises 2) To make participants feel safe and comfortable in trusting fall arrests, SRLs and descend/rescue device (e.g. MILAN)
3) To keep a flow in the training activities and not spend time on individual introductions to the gear
