Working At Height

Working at Height is one of the biggest causes of death & injury. Workers usually fall from stairs & are on fragile surfaces/roofs.

Here are a few steps you can take to make Working at Heights safe:
- Working at Height must be planned, supervised & carried out by workers who already have the knowledge, ability & experience to do the job
- Workers must use suitable, stable, robust & maintained & inspected Equipment for Working at Height (PPE, safety ropes, anchors, connecting devices, ladders, guardrails & more)
- Workers must have the ability to prevent accidents at the place where they work
- Workers must have knowledge of the severity of the task to be carried out, the duration & frequency of the work & the condition of the surface to be worked on
- Workers must ensure that their place of work is safe & secured
- Working on fragile places/surfaces & various objects that may fall should be avoided
- Workers should not carry items & equipment that are heavier than their ladders & body support
- If an accident occurs, workers & other personnel must be able to carry out rescue actions & the evacuation process

Drone

The Drone is a Robot that can fly autonomously & is controlled remotely using software that works in conjunction with onboard sensors & GPS. Intelligent Drone can provide a variety of important information using their equipment: GPS, laser/lidar, sensors (visual, ultrasonic, flight time, chemistry, stabilization & orientation).

Besides making photos & videos, Drone has been used in various industries to:
- Search & rescue victims
- Keep an eye on & monitor traffic, weather, farmland, plantation & wildlife
- Transport & deliver objects & goods
- Report various situations, including emergencies & disasters
- Protect assets, property & various other valuables
- Communicate & provide information

- Take measurements & surveys
- Check air & water quality & presence of certain micro-organisms & atmospheric elements
- Monitor fires

The latest developments are:
- Drone can currently detect from 5 directions (front, back, down, up & side to side)
- Drone that already has the Internet of Things (IoT) can work faster
- The use of a Drone must comply with applicable regulations

Rescue Craft

Rescue Craft is the most important part of:
- Marine Safety Mission
- Search & Rescue Operations

Rescue Craft is used to rescue victims who are at sea & rivers & also near shore, offshore & various installations.

Rescue Craft is the best choice to perform Search & Rescue Operations because:
- It can be operated more quickly & efficiently at sea
- It is stable
- It can carry all the equipment needed & heavy loads
- It can last a long time in various weather conditions
- It is equipped with life safety equipment (First Aid kit, knife, hook, compass, radio, lamp, Portable Fire Extinguisher & more)
- It can accommodate more people & victims

Rescue Craft desperately needs a reliable Coxswain who can do the following:
- Assess sea conditions & safety
- Perform proper procedures to prepare, operate, maintain & repair Rescue Craft
- Operate Rescue Craft from any beach with minimal assistance

Confined Space Rescue

Confined Space Rescue is the act of rescuing the victims trapped in Confined Spaces (basements, storage tanks, sewers & more).

Some of the obstacles that exist when the rescue process is carried out in a Confined Space:
- Lack of oxygen
- Lack of light
- Presence of hazardous materials in the form of liquid & gas

Some consequences to watch out for when an emergency occurs in a Confined Space:
- Brain damage
- Dead

One of the rescue actions that the Rescue Team has to do at the start is that they have to emit harmful gases & put fresh air into the space.

The workers in the Confined Space are advised to be able to save themselves without waiting for the Rescue Team to enter the Confined Space & save them. They can save themselves with safety ropes mounted on poles.

When rescuing victims, the Rescue Team must use:
- PPE
- SCBA
- Helmet
- Seatbelt

Confined Space Attendant

Confined Space Attendants are employees who work to reduce the death rate in Confined Spaces & save lives. Some of the things they should do are:
- Staying outside of the Confined Space
- Monitoring the safety of other workers in the Confined Space
- Monitoring hazards & atmospheric conditions
- Maintaining access to Confined Space so it should not be entered by workers who do not have a permit to work
- Alerting workers when there are conditions that will lead to an emergency
- Calling Rescue Officers & emergency assistance if needed

Working as the Confined Space Attendant should not be carried out by:
- Entry-level employees who have not been properly trained in Confined Space safety
- Firefighters who are off-duty & untrained to handle Confined Spaces
- Other workers who are not part of the team assigned to work in Confined Spaces

The advantage of having the trained Confined Space Attendants is that they can review:
- Permit To Work
- Tasks to do
- Necessary PPE & equipment
- Atmospheric conditions
