Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 374

Rescue Procedure

Following direct feedback from our canopy structural teams regarding the method raising the alarm in
an emergency when they are working on the canopy, we have reviewed our rescue policy and issued a
new procedure and whistles to all structural teams.

The enclosed procedure enables crews to discuss the rescue policy with ground based people (e.g. crane
operators) during the site induction, and guides the focus of the discussion to ensure that the ground
people are aware of the requirements.

Whistles have been issued to structural crews to help to attract attention of ground based people in an
emergency.

If you have any initiatives you think would improve the safety of the job, please contact us – we
welcome all suggestions.

We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything we do has
been learned throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and charts, some through visual
presentations, and some by reading detailed text books. It is important that we receive information in a format that works
for us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo Strata we use a variety of communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters,
videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for us to share health and safety information, please let us know.
Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we will do all we can to keep you well informed!
