Practise a pre-use inspection of the rescue or evacuation device products chosen to instruct this training
ELEMENT 11.3 - SAFE AND CORRECT EVACUATION
Learning objectives:
75) The participants can perform a safe and correct single evacuation with the evacuation, or rescue, with the device set up in a passive mode (Skills, intermediate level)
76) The participants can perform a safe and correct double evacuation with the evacuation or rescue device set up in an active mode: including a connecting element between the device and the harness (Skills, intermediate level)
The instructor shall:
Explain the difference between active and passive setups for evacuation and rescue devices, and describe in what situations each should be used including:
a.i operator's local risk assessment (e.g. different turbine types, exit points, and environmental constraints require different solutions (of a passive or active setup, but also differences within each setup)
a.ii specific evacuation setups and methods may be defined by the operator’s site-specific procedures, which participants should familiarize themselves with arriving on site
Demonstrate how to perform a safe and correct evacuation, including:
a. attaching the evacuation device to an anchor point (passive setup)
b. attaching the evacuation device to the harness, (active setup), configured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During a double evacuation, a work positioning lanyard should be used as the connecting element between the rescue or 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 arrest lanyard, if attached to an anchor point
e. provide fall prevention by keeping the evacuation device rope’s end tight
f. safe and correct access to exit location (e.g. opening escape hatch door, rolled roof edge, etc.)
