Donut Safeland Rescue
The risks associated with work at height are well known throughout the Port & Construction Industries. It is reasonable to foresee situations where workers become trapped at height: in Cranes, Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs) or Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWPs). Personnel may be in life threatening situations through injury or a medical emergency such as a heart attack.
Health and Safety legislation requires the dutyholder to risk assess the use of mechanical handling equipment where the operator works at a high level - to recognise the possibility of the worker being injured at height. A rescue plan is to be provided which does not rely on the fire and rescue services.
