RESCUE OF COLLEAGUES FROM
FRAMEWORK STRUCTURES
Where ActSafe PME is used in working situations on framework
structures, a method has been developed where the work rope,
which is used to ascend and descend to the place of work, is
anchored at ground level. The work rope is anchored on the ground
using a sling, a karabiner and a descending device.
Should an incident occur, the person on ground level should be able
to perform the rescue operation by lowering the worker, on
condition that the injured person is not connected to a
lanyard and is not unconscious. (In some work situations, the
use of a lanyard can simplify “work positioning”, and during the
course the participants will learn a method that will apply in these
situations).
The procedure below can be used in most cases, i.e. if the person in
distress is only connected to the work rope, or is still contactable
after an injury and can disengage his lanyard,
- Lower the injured person by using the I’D (the rope length shall be
at least twice the height of the rescue).
- By using this rigging-method the rescue system is built into the
work rope system.
