Entry and Exit
Passenger entry to and exit from should only be conducted
with the carrier in a stable position on deck as advised by the
crane operator to the deck crew member in charge of the
transfer operation.
Note: All exiting passengers must be clear of the carrier before
any new passengers attempt to board.
Each individual seat has a dedicated entry / exit point to
prevent confusion and ensure an efficient operation. All
passengers must enter and exit from the same direction.
Chevrons on the buoyancy panels are present to indicate the
direction of entry.
Entry
When advised to do so by the deck crew, passengers should
proceed as directed to one of the four entrances (note trip
hazard). When instructed, all passengers should enter the
carrier and take the seat to their left.
Passengers should ensure they are securely seated and ensure
the seat harness is securely fastened. Grab handles are
provided on the tubular upright members either side of the
buoyancy panel and passengers should grip these firmly or the
harness straps whenever seated. Passengers should never
place their hands near the load plate.
Exit
Following landing and when advised to do so by the deck crew,
passengers should unfasten the safety harness, stand and exit
the carrier (note trip hazard) by the exit to their left.
Passengers should move clear of the carrier as directed by the
deck crew, ensuring they remain clear of the lifting assembly.
Passengers should remain alert to hazard posed by the sling
(particularly in harsh weather with high deck motions). The
sling position should be managed by the deck crew as required
(see Deck Crew Instructions).
Note: It is recommended that when used to transfer only one passenger, passenger should
be seated behind buoyancy panel A.
