Length of bight: single point: 4"

two points ( pelvic and chest: 6-10"

maximum length or av. is needed: 1-2"

pg. 32 

Webbing

Use: join two peices of webbing to increase strength. 

2" tails 

#1  Double loop, Single loop girth hitch (Lark's foot), Double loop lark's foot, locking larks foot, Single loop basket sling, Single loop, Multi loop

A. Types of Anchors:

1. Natural (trees, solid rock)

2. Manufactured  (Vehicles)

3. Structural Components (found in a structure)

4. Pickets 

#1 Wrap three pull two

#2 Double Loop

#3 Single Loop Girth (Lark's foot)

#4 Double Lark's foot

#5 Locking Lark's foot

#6 Single loop Basket sling

#7 Double loop basket sling 

#8 Single sling anchor attachment (open)

adv: less sling material required

dis: weaker than other slings does not hold position unless loaded. 

#1 Life line or weebing

stronger than pre-tied slings

Disadvantages: requires longer lengths of materail to form, most complex to form and position, slowest of open slings to form. 

KNOT MUST BE AGAISNT ANCHOR 

#2 Pretied, Advantages: quick to form around anchors, easy to relocate, quick to remove, easy to increasethe sling's strength by doubling the loop

a. Disadvantage: unable to be adjusted to larger anchors, may be weakened by changes in direction of pull. 

#3 Adv: holds position on anchor reasonbly well

a. Disadv: overloading may cause the sling to slide against itself, generating enough heat to damage it. 

#4 Double Loop Girth Hitch (Lark's foo) Adv: holds position of anchor reasonbly well/ significantly stonger than single

a. Dis: overloading causing the sling to slide against itself generating enough heat to damage it. 

#5 : adv- holds on anchor extremely well.

a. Dis: overloading/heat

#6 Adv: does not slide agaianst itself, so no heat generation

Dis: if the lenngth of sling is too short it will tri-load the connecting caribiner, decreases strenght of caribiner, does not hold in position unless loaded

#7 Adv: stonger than single

dis: same 

#1 Supporting 5,000 pounds per employee 

#2 Non-directional: accept pull from any direction 

-Directioal: only one direction 

-Must be Bomb proof! 

-Webbing Must be less than 90 degrees

-Personal fall arrest systems

#1 Must be driven at an angle of 15 degrees

length of disctance from each other is picket length from the base. 

 -Single picket: 700Ibs (used for edge person only)

-1-1-1 Inline (directional) Rated at: 5,000Ibs

- 1-1-1 triangle (non-directional) 

48 x 1" cold rolled steel

#2 Driven 24- 36" into the soil

#3 Tension device 18-24" 1/2  to 3/4 diameter. 

Three main components of a rope rescue system 

pg. 90

#1 Belay/Safety line component

#2 Mainline Component (lowering,raising  or fixed line for rappeling) "RPM"

#3 Mechanical advantage: can be independent or part of the mainline.

RESISTANT

PULLEY 

MARINERS HITCH or LRD 

Must have: Bombproof anchor, carabiners, mariner, tandem prusiks (green/red)

If we need slack:

 #1Push the two prusiks back

#2 Pull on the mainline (side) to gain slack on the belay line

#3 Use mariner (LRD) untie

Litter basket may be lashed at the butt  end of ladder pg. 176

*whole ladder being pushed up to the building

-Use a 2:1 pulley pg. 173

-Litter basket is moving up and down the ladder

-Use in any ladder (length wise)

pg. 179

-Not enough personnel

-Tip of ladder is set above window

-can have access to each floor. 

pg. 180 

use to lower 

pg. 184

-Rigged at Proper Climbing angle 75 degrees

-all loads must be at the beam

components: gound ladder, guy lines, anchor points 

75 degrees 

-Riggged by tying two figure eight on a bight knots with a 12" bights 

-knots are 12-18" apart (not greater than 90 degrees)

How long are the guidelines?
Minimum of 3x the ladder height (ours were longer if you recall pulling the rope bag all the way across the RTC)

What are the belay line requirements for a ladder gin?
45 degree angle from ladder, 20 feet back

*If the question asks about using the ladder INSIDE the building to make an anchor point the answer is INTERIOR leaning ladder.  If the question asks about using a ladder OUTSIDE the building to make an anchor the answer is EXTERIOR anchor slide.
