During descent of a person in the tower, it is possible to rest on the platforms between
the tower sections.
7.5.2 Evacuation from the service lift
0011461419
It is highly unlikely that evacuation from the service lift will be necessary. However, if the lift wire
breaks, or the hoist unit fully fails, evacuation from the service lift may be necessary.
•
The lift user manual and instruction booklet are located in the pouch inside the service lift and
must be followed at all times.
•
Make sure that the fall arrest equipment is connected to the anchor point inside the service lift
and makes it possible for you to exit the service lift.
•
Step across from the service lift to the ladder and connect your other fall arrest lanyard to the
ladder stile, (not the rung). Disconnect the other lanyard from inside the lift and connect it to
the ladder stile. See the sequence in the below figure.

•
Connect the fall arrest slider to the fixed system. Remove the lanyard from the ladder stile
and continue down to the entrance.
7.5.3 Evacuation from the service lift (large diameter tower)
0011461418
Additional equipment is necessary for this procedure to enable safe evacuation from
the lift to a lower platform or ladder, whichever is the nearest. In large diameter
towers, an additional descent device must be carried in the service lift due to the large
distance from the lift to the ladder in the bottom tower sections.
