SKI LIFT EVACUATION
If ski lift equipment
fails, the person in
charge must evacuate
passengers according
to the evacuation
plan. This document
explains precisely
how all the operations
should be carried out
and what human and
material means must be
employed.
The evacuation of all
passengers must be
carried out within a
predetermined time
frame. These operations
are generally carried
out by the operating
personnel. In case of
difficulty, the operator may
call in organized rescue
squads. Evacuation
of a ski lift requires
specific techniques for
movement along a cable.
For maximum efficiency,
these operations are led
simultaneously by several
independent teams,
generally composed
of two people (one
suspended on the cable
for evacuation, the other
on the ground to receive
the passengers and to
guide the movements
of his colleague). The
success of these
operations hinges largely
on the instruction, training
and practice of the
operating personnel
(at least once a year).
AVAO BOD FAST

The AVAO BOD FAST fall arrest and work positioning harness was
designed for greater comfort in use. The X-shaped dorsal construction
wraps to reduce pressure points during prolonged suspension.
The FAST buckles allow the harness to be donned with both feet on the
ground, while retaining its adjustment settings.
