Lifelines
Really? That's pretty standard information.
Lifelines are very useful and important: 1) Working forward, stay low and they can and will catch you 2) If you take a fall from anywhere, accept over them, they can and will catch you 3) Jacklines-part of the system. You should expect to "rely" on lifelines. I've never heard or read anyone call them a "last resort" and wouldn't treat them as such. I consider this an unsafe philosophy. Like EVERY safety system on board they should be cared for as PRIMARY safety gear. Do otherwise and you might regret it. I use my lifelines FAR more often than my Fire Extiguisher (never used them actually), but I keep the extinguishers updated as well. RB |
