Two scenarios were devised:
- A crane operator suffered a fainting spell at 50 meters up, requiring evacuation by stretcher via a zip line.
- A colleague fell from a ladder at the crinoline level, 40 meters high.
Three objectives for the construction site:
- Test the responsiveness of our teams.
- Test the emergency call procedure.
- Test the possibilities for evacuating an employee from the crane to ground level.
This exercise is a best practice that proves essential for optimally preparing the coordination among various project stakeholders in case of an emergency.
