Larger types of patients - stretchers

[Guest guest]

Hi all

Pick your brains if I may.

Vessel sailing in a few day for a 2 week project on a supporting a rig.

New member of the rig team arrived which exceeds 140kg and I have placed in a

high risk stratification category due to underlying medical condition.

Trying to plan a potential evac plan from vessel to platform or one level f

platform to helideck I realise that my Paraguard and Neil on isn't man

enough for the job.

Although the weight limit for the Paraguard is either

136kg (http://www.paraguardstretcher.com/) or

181kg (http://www.tepi.co/userfiles/camilla%20pdf.pdf)

depending on which information you read - it's the circumference which is an

issue.

Have you come across this problem before and if so how have you got around it

(as it were)?

cheers
