§ Lift the work box to the platform level. § Position the work box such that its door is at the platform level and at the same height as the top handrail. § Tie the platform to the handrail. Open the door of the work box. § Lower the rope retrieval gear onto the platform and attach it to the person. With the person facing away from the work box, use the rope retrieval gear along with another worker to help the person enter the box. ] Last edited by echommm on 2007-12-26 18:47 ]

The work box should be positioned with its door at the level of the platform’s door, and its floor level should be at the same height as the top of the railing. The work box is placed at the location of the platform door, with its floor level matching that of the top of the railing. Tie the platform to the railing. Secure the work box to the railing. Open the door of the work box. Pull out the rope retrieval device and attach it to the platform in order to lift the person up. With the person facing away from the work box, use the rope retrieval device along with another worker to get the person inside the box )’s help to move people into the work compartment.

This sentence: The work booth should be positioned so that the door is at the level of the platform and the floor height of the top handrail. The platform of the device usually doesn’t have a door; this door refers to the door of the \"work booth\". How is this “working compartment” positioned once it is lifted to the rescue site at a high altitude?

Here’s my understanding: The work box should be positioned so that its door is at the same level as the floor height of the top handrail. The phrase “floor height of the top handrail” is a bit unclear; one possible interpretation is that it refers to the height of the floor level (i.e., of the work box) being aligned with the top of the handrail. It seems a bit forced and grammatically awkward, but it makes sense in context; Another possibility is that an \"at\" was omitted in the original text; it should be \"the floor (at) height of the top handrail\", meaning that the bottom of the work box is at the same height as the upper handrail – which also sounds rather strange. It’s easier to understand when the person is facing AWAY from the work box; in other words, the person should be with their back to the work box.

The work booth must be positioned so that the door is at the platform level, with the floor being at the same height as the top of the handrail. When positioning the work booth, the door should be on the platform, and the floor height should match that of the top of the guardrail. I’m a bit confused: if a crane is used to lift the work compartment from the ground to the rescue location (which is the platform, as the injured person is on that platform), then why not simply place the work compartment on the platform? In that case, rescuers would still need to open the doors of the work compartment and jump onto the platform (the height being equal to the top of the guardrails). How, then, can the injured person be moved from the platform to the work compartment? Additionally: With the person facing AWAY from the work box. “Have this person face away from the work box.” Why is this done?

The work box should be positioned with the door against the platform, and the top of the handrail at the same height as the platform surface. The work box is placed such that the door is against the platform, with the top of the handrail aligned with the platform level. (Feel: The handrail is part of the work box; otherwise, there would be no need to tie the platform to the handrail with a rope. Tie off the platform to the handrail. Right?) And translating it as “the floor is at the same height as the top of the railing” seems a bit confusing – which floor? The work box’s? ) Send the rope retrieval gear to the platform and attach it to the person. Release the rope rescue device and hook it to the injured person. (It isn’t stated here that rescuers need to jump onto the platform; presumably the high-altitude platform isn’t very large, so it’s possible to reach the injured person using a device.) ) With the person facing AWAY from the work box, use the rope retrieval gear and another worker to help get that person into the box. Tighten the rope rescue device, keep the injured person with their back to the work box, and together move the injured person into the box. (It seems that this life rope can be twisted to make it longer or shorter.) The purpose of having the back facing away from the work box is to ensure that the back is flat with no protrusions; having it face the work box makes it easier to control things, right?) The above are just suggestions for reference. I’m glad to see such discussions: lol

The floor should belong to the work box; there are usually “rails” around the platform. Because of „...the floor height of the top handrail“, if rescuers need to go onto the platform to pull the ‚injured person‘ into the work compartment, they have to jump down, grab the injured person, and lift them up.

This platform should be the one at the top of the torch; it shouldn’t be very large, and rescuers shouldn’t need to climb up there (the text isn’t clear enough to understand this). Inside the work box, it’s possible to use this gear to attach something to the human body, and then tighten the cables in order to pull the person into the work box. According to your explanation, \"tie off the platform to the handrail\" seems to imply connecting the railing of the platform with that of the work box (to prevent it from shaking); but in your view, it only means tying together the railings of the work box and the platform? The original text doesn’t seem to convey this meaning either. Last edited by lihx_susan on 2007-12-25 at 14:16.]

The work booth must be positioned so that the door faces the platform, and the floor level is at the same height as the top of the handrail. When positioning the work booth, the door should be oriented towards the platform, with the floor at the same height as the top of the guardrail. (I see; the rescuers don’t need to go down to the platform – they can use hooks or similar tools to pull the injured people out of it.) “Tie off the platform to the handrail” should mean “attach the working compartment to the railing to prevent it from shaking”; there might be an error in the original text. Otherwise, it can’t be understood.
