SAFETY
General safety measures
• Draw up a risk analysis and a minimum
of 2 separate rescue plans.
• Make suitable rescue equipment
available.
• Check all components in the system.
Rig for rescue
Traditional rescue methods refer to clim-
bing/ascending the unloaded rope to the
injured operator and lowering/descending
to safety with the help of equipment.
This will normally take longer than just
descending directly without needing to ac-
cess the injured person.
As time is important in accessing an
injured person ActSafe recommend always
to plan for rescue when planning your work
with an ascender.
Plan for rescue when rigging the rope system.
TIPS
Always secure tools and equipment.
The area of risk under someone working at
height is within a radius of 2/3 of the height and
larger due to strong wind. Other persons must
keep away from the area of risk.
