II.VII Additional instructions when using the hoop/escape ladder
Remain alert. Concentrate when climbing a hoop/escape ladder and never do so under the influence of alcohol, medication or
!
substances that may affect your ability to react.
Never wear baggy clothing or jewellery. These could become caught when ascending or descending the hoop/escape ladder,

so that a power cable cannot become trapped or become caught when climbing the hoop/escape ladder. Check beforehand
that the electrical cable of your tool is not damaged.
Do not leave any tools or other equipment at the bottom of the hoop/escape ladder which you might trip over.
