1 ERPP (17) FALL PROTECTION RESCUE INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES FALL PROTECTION RESCUE REQUIREMENTS Always consult the work jurisdictions OHS Regulations/codes when developing fall protection plans, carrying out fall protection training, preparing rescue plans, etc. For all jobs where fall hazards over 10ft (3 metres) exist, fall protection rescue procedures should be planned and communicated to workers; Workers using fall protection systems used/set-up by CCMET must follow the relevant Safe Work Practices and s. Practice drills and rescue procedures (with Prime Contractor, Client, Fire Department, etc.) should be completed/reviewed with workers; In the event recue from a fire department is necessary, CCMET must ensure an agreement is drafted and implemented as per the work jurisdictions OHS Regulations. The agreement should be updated as necessary when work operations change. INDUSTRIAL HIGH-ANGLE ROPE RESCUE BRITISH COLUMBIA (as taken from the WSBC Occupational Health and Safety Regulation Guidelines) Rescue of a worker at a high elevation can be effectively done in a variety of ways, depending on the circumstances at the workplace. For example, on a construction site, the personnel hoist may be used, or a "dedicated emergency platform" (DEP) hoisted by a tower or mobile crane may be used to remove an injured worker. Some work activities, for example window washing, swing stage work and tower crane operation result in a need for high angle rescue capability to rescue or remove a stranded or injured worker. An employer may develop its own high angle rescue capability, and this requires specialized equipment and training and practice. As an alternative, for a workplace located in an area serviced by a fire/rescue department, and where the local department has high angle rescue capabilities, the employer may be able to arrange for the local fire department to provide rescue services for the employer's operation. The following municipal fire/rescue departments have developed high angle (rope) rescue capability using techniques and equipment acceptable to the WSBC for workplace rescue. (The initiative to develop this capability was in part sponsored by the WSBC): City of Burnaby City of Port Alberni City of Coquitlam City of Port Coquitlam City of Delta City of Port Moody City of Kamloops District of Powell River City of Kelowna City of Prince George City of Kitimat Regional District of Kootenay Boundary City of Prince Rupert City of Richmond City of Saanich Page 1 of 14

2 City of Nanaimo City of Surrey City of Nelson City of Vancouver City of New Westminster City of West Vancouver City of North Vancouver Village of Whistler District of North Vancouver City of White Rock City of Penticton If a workplace is located outside the service area of a municipal fire/rescue department providing high angle rescue service, the employer has to provide for any necessary high angle rescue requirements by other acceptable means. If an employer wants to use the local municipal fire/rescue department as a high angle (rope) rescue service provider, the employer must notify the department in advance, and ensure the department is capable and prepared to provide the required services. CCMET Construction will utilize the "NOTICE OF WORK AT HEIGHT" standard WSBC form, to notify the fire department.. For projects that will have a longer term need for high angle rescue capability, CCMET will utilize the WSBC s High-Angle Rope Rescue written agreement. This agreement will be established between CCMET Construction and the Fire Department. A copy of this written agreement will be available at the workplace as an attachment to the fall protection evaluation and written work plan. In the event of being notified of the request for potential high-angle rope rescue services, The fire/rescue department may: visit the project site to determine site suitability for rescue purposes, request additional and reasonable provisions to assist rescue capabilities, and refuse to enter into an agreement to provide rescue services if all reasonable requirements are not fulfilled. VARIOUS FALL PROTECTION RESCUE PROCEDURES AND INFORMATION The below noted STANDARD fall protection rescue procedures can be used in CCMET s written Fall Protection Plans for specific job sites and adapted as required. WORKING BELOW BRIDGE DECK ABOVE DECK RESCUE Written procedures must be prepared on how to set up the tripod rescue system. The procedures should outline the complete rescue process and reviewed with workers; If using a tripod rescue system, all workers using the system must be trained on how to use the system Inspect rescue systems and related equipment on a daily basis, before set-up, and formally monthly; In the event of a fall below bridge deck, workers will erect a tripod system on the bridge deck, spreading the bridge ties, and activating the system. Page 2 of 14

3 Rescue systems must comply with applicable work jurisdictions OHS Regulations/Codes; The above is acceptable, for quick rescue, provided the following steps have been taken: The bridge deck hardware has been removed over the working area (to facilitate the moving of ties) The tripod system is available and in good working order No bridge traffic is evident. WORKING BELOW BRIDGE DECK BELOW DECK RESCUE Written procedures must be prepared on how to set up the tripod rescue system. The procedures should outline the complete rescue process and reviewed with workers; Inspect rescue systems and related equipment on a daily basis, before set-up, and formally monthly, etc. Workers using rescue system must be trained in its safe use; If using a snooper truck, hoisting equipment with a suspended work platform/man basket, elevating man lift or scissor lift, these systems may be used to aid fallen/suspended workers Ensure equipment box and remote hook is on a pier or close to the working area. Wrap cable around brace frame, lateral brace or bridge tie and connect eyes with shackle Install hook onto shackle and lower cable to person requiring rescue (rescue hook can be connected into back of d-ring either by worker requiring rescue or by means of a telescoping hook from above. Once cable is hooked into shock absorber or d-ring, commence lifting. Tripod systems must comply with applicable work jurisdictions OHS Regulations. SUSPENDED WORK PLATFORMS (MAN BASKETS) USING CRANE OR OTHER HOISTING DEVICE Using a suspended work platform/man basket for rescue or general work purposes is considered a critical lift. The appropriate SWPs, SJPs, rescue procedures/emergency response procedures and paperwork for using this system must be adhered to and completed in addition to following the work jurisdictions OHS Regulations. Written procedures must be prepared in the fall protection plan on how utilize a suspended work platform / man basket to carry out fall protection rescues. The procedures should outline the complete rescue process and reviewed with workers; Ensure the suspended work platform /man basket and related rigging is located close to the bridge/hoisting equipment and easily accessible to workers and crane; Inspect suspended work platform / man basket and related rigging & hardware daily /before use, including fall protection PPE etc.; Ensure suspended work platform/ man basket is engineered, with the correct Page 3 of 14

4 placard /information and capable of carrying out rescue work as required; Suspended Work Platforms / Man baskets, rigging, hardware, etc. must comply with applicable work jurisdictions OHS Regulations. Suspended Work Platforms / Man baskets, rigging, etc. must be tested, serviced and inspected as per manufacturer specifications, work jurisdictions OHS Regulations and CCMET s Equipment and Maintenance Program. WATER RESCUE VESSELS / LIFE PRESERVERS Whenever possible, guard against falls into water by using a fall protection system ideally guardrails should be used. If they cannot be used another fall protection system (follow hierarchy of fall protection controls) should be adopted and implemented. Water Rescues (Swift Water) may be coordinated through the local Fire Departments. Contact the Fire Department when preparing the rescue plan. Always consult the work jurisdictions OHS Regulations when preparing water rescue procedures. Written procedures must be prepared on how to deploy rescue water vessel /Life preserver ring in the event of an emergency. The procedures should outline the complete rescue process and reviewed with workers; Rescue water vessels, such as skiffs, aluminum crew boats, life preserver rings/ life line rope and jet skis should be inspected daily before work commences to ensure vessels / equipment are operational and free of damage. The vessels, equipment, etc. should be serviced according to manufacturer s specifications, applicable government regulations/ohs Regulations and CCMET s Equipment and Maintenance Program. Only workers with a pleasure craft operators ticket may run water rescue vessels. Where the waters are navigable, a rescue water vessel (boat) may need to be provided, as per the Work Contract. (Rescue vessel may be required as part of project s fall protection rescue plan.) For more information refer to WATER VESSEL EMERGENCY, RESCUE INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES in this Manual. Always have the appropriate type of personal protective equipment for working along the water and/or to assist with a water rescue (i.e. personal flotation devices, harnesses, lanyards). PFDs must be inspected daily before use and worn by the rescuers as well as the rescued worker. ELEVATING WORK PLATFORMS Instead of using a Suspended Work Platform or High-Angle Rescue system, an elevating man lift or scissor lift may be used instead. Always consult the work jurisdictions OHS Regulations when preparing fall protection rescue plans using an elevating man lift. Written procedures must be prepared on how to implement the rescue in the event Page 4 of 14

5 of an emergency. The procedures should outline the rescue process and be reviewed with workers. Elevating work platforms should be inspected before use on a daily basis. Results should be documented in the Equipment log book. Elevating work platforms should be tested, inspected, serviced and maintained in accordance with Manufacturers specifications, the work jurisdictions OHS Regulations and CCMET s Equipment and Maintenance Program. Only trained/qualified workers may operate elevating work platforms and other related equipment For more information, review the safe work practices for elevating work platforms. RESCUE ADVICE FOR FALLEN/SUSPENDED WORKER Everybody who is suspended in a safety harness runs the risk of shock and unconsciousness due to blood flow insufficiency. Unconsciousness can become life threatening after only a few minutes. Shock, caused by a lack of blood flow, is due to the blood accumulating in the lower parts of the body as a result of the musculature of the legs relaxing and the so-called muscle pump stopping. In order to maintain this function in good order, the victim of a fall must be made to keep his or her legs moving. In this way, blood circulation can be activated and the accumulation of blood in the legs prevented. The victim of a fall must be released from the suspended situation as quickly as possible. Important! The accident victim must never be laid down after being rescued from the suspended position, not even in the stable side position. The victim should be positioned with the upper body very well raised, i.e. seated, or possibly squatting in crouched posture. All restrictive belts and clothing should be unfastened. Follow the Serious Injury procedures as outlined in the Emergency Preparedness Section of the General Environmental, Health and Safety Plan or in the Emergency Response Plan created for the project. Laying the victim down horizontally could be life threatening. The blood that has accumulated in the legs flows abruptly into the heart creating risk of heart failure due to overstrain. Transfer to a horizontal posture should take place only gradually. Continuous monitoring of the respiration and circulation of the victim is necessary. In the event of unconsciousness, the air passages should be kept open. Page 5 of 14
