Riddle Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Who has a rescue plan AND equipment? What is it and when did you last practice? Moderation: Since you work for a highly specialised company that works in EXACTLY this field, this post is perilously close to being in violation of BR T&Cs which specifically prohibit starting threads for promotional/commercial purposes. Since a number of people have responded and the discussion could be valid, we'll leave this for now...but any attempt at "selling" in this thread will probably result in closure.

csg Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 this is effectively an advert as you are trying to raise awareness of your line of business - and by increasing the size of the thread, so am I, so this is my last response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_blick Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 this is effectively an advert as you are trying to raise awareness of your line of business Surely by this description anything any of us write in this forum is advertising.For example, I work in Automation therefore I will write about and discuss various aspects of that field, including other peoples' methods and their preferred suppliers. So, on that note; I shall answer the original posters question: I do have a rescue plan and it was rehearsed three times last week. This rehearsal process takes place at least every month. And can be carried out upon any involved party's request. Without going in to detail, our rescue plan is set up to retrieve a performer from an open platform at the end of a 10m hydraulic boom lift, and includes detachment of the performers' harness from their protection point and transference on to an alternative platform.

Jram Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I am curious to see what's out there. So it's market research then? The last theatre I worked in had a 'rescue plan' (more of a vague idea), which they never ever rehearse, and which seems, at best, hopeful. The venue is somewhat notorious on the H&S front though. The venue in question, over the panto season, lost five of it's most regular (as opposed to loyal) and experienced staff. Either because they walked out, were told to get out, or were told not to come back. East Germany before the wall came down was a less oppressive regime.

Riddle Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Many thanks for your response, prior to my current position I used to train within the construction industry. I got 3 responses, "999", the "man-riding cage" or "what's a rescue plan?" Its not market research, its proffessional curiosity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancetech Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I develop rescue plans for all the activities that I either carry out or manage or stand near enough to to know its not been done! However, I would like to adhere to a standardised template if there is one? regards dare.eps@tiscali.co.uk Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddle Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 YHM. There is no template, other than the method statement that accompanies the rescue equipment you have purchased. There are too many variables to consider, look to your training and the people you bought the products from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddle Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Without wishing to flog a dead horse..... has anyone else got a rescue plan they wish to discuss? A plan that might solve someone else's problem? If you have a plan in place, how did you decide on that particular course of action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Siddons Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'd suggest you have a word with the PSA or Chris at Stagesafe, incidently "show stop procedure" was a part of my safety passport course though how to get a lampy down who's stuck on a truss wasn't .

Seano Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Without wishing to flog a dead horse..... has anyone else got a rescue plan they wish to discuss?I suspect I'm not the only one to be put off by the suspiciously spam-like nature of the OP, and also there's nothing here yet to discuss. Perhaps you'd get a bit more interest if you actually start the ball rolling by posting some actual content, a case study or something perhaps. You're claiming to be speaking from a position of some expertise so come on, share a bit of knowledge. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddle Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 If you read the moderators note I cannot give too much information otherwise this thread gets removed for advertising. Teaching rescue and work at height is my job! The aim of the thread to get people to discuss what they have in place, or if nothing is in place people can contact each other for advice. Ok, so at the risk of being deleted..... you have a lampy hanging out of reach of the truss having fallen off. We'll make this one easy, he has no known medical issues and has not fallen as a result of some other incident. The silly fool simply slipped off the side. How do you get him down? Once he is down what are the next course of action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
