g.i other passive setup methods and rope deployment procedures
g.ii connected advantages and disadvantages (hazards & risks) of various passive setup methods and rope deployment procedures e.g., 1) rope deployed out of the turbine; not able to identify kinks/knots of the entire length of rope, entanglement with other ropes, the tower or the blades of an idling spinner, or 2) the rope bag being where the rescue device is; if no one can assist in the unlikely event of kinks/knots when the rope is being deployed out of the rope bag g.iii why and how the last evacuee in a passive setup should reconfigure the setup to an active setup to ensure a controlled evacuation, provided the continued use of the device is within manufacturer's equipment limitations
h. secure the rope bag to the harness (active mode setup)
i. holding onto the rescue device rope while getting into position for descent (e.g. getting out of the hatch)
j. transferring full body weight to the rescue 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
Facilitate practical exercises for the participants
Provide constructive feedback on the participants’ performance during practice
The participants shall:
Practise how to perform a safe and correct evacuation with the device in passive setup
Observe a demonstration of a double evacuation in active setup
During evacuation scenarios, participants not performing the exercise shall remain at ground level in a safe area, where they can practice setting up and rigging the evacuation equipment
Note
An instructor shall be positioned at the descent point, and both instructor(s) and participants shall remain secured to an anchor point using a fall arrest lanyard while waiting
When participants demonstrate the evacuation, they shall also be connected to additional fall protection, set up and controlled by the instructor, and secured to a separate anchor point from the evacuation device
Although not required by this module, participants may repeat the evacuation exercise if time allows
