FALL PREVENTION DEVICE

FALL PREVENTION DEVICE has been developed to help reduce the number of accidents caused by the failure of
on-load lifeboat release hooks. They are attached between the lifeboat and the fore and aft davit fall blocks, providing a
second line of safety in case the loaded hook system fails while lowering or raising the lifeboat. The safety strops are removed before activating the sling release mechanism just before the lifeboat enters the water. The strops are then reattached before the lifeboat is retrieved from the water. All  FALL PREVENTION DEVICE need to be in place before any drill, testing, inspection or maintenance work is carried out that requires people to be in the lifeboat.
