ELEMENT 14.2 - CORRECT USE OF RESCUE DEVICES AND SLINGS
Learning objectives:
88) The participants can recognise that pre-use inspection of the evacuation or rescue device may not be required, if it is permitted by the manufacturer’s user manual and the manufacturer criteria (Knowledge, basic level)
89) The participants can describe how to perform pre-use inspection of a rescue device product (Knowledge, basic level)
90) The participants can describe how to rig the device onto a ladder stile and reinforced rung utilising slings aiming to enable moving parts of the device to run freely (Knowledge, basic level)
91) The participants can describe the principles of lifting angle, angle factor and edge protection (Knowledge, basic level)
92) The participants can describe how to rig the device in passive setup, and active setup with deflection or deviation applying a friction connector (Knowledge, basic level)
93) The participants can recognise 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 (Knowledge, basic level)
94) The participants can recognise their potential task in familiarising themselves with other safety equipment products in their own organisation on course completion (Knowledge, basic level)
The instructor shall:
Present that pre-use inspection of the evacuation or rescue device may not be required, if it is permitted by the manufacturer’s user manual and the manufacturer criteria
