Manual inflatable lifejacket (150 N)

Refer to FROG User Manual for full details

Evaluation

Flat buoyancy panels are unobtrusive and allow passengers easy entry and exit from seat harness

Recommendation Acceptable RML recommend that any PFD of this type is tested with seat harness in FROG for compatibility

Acceptable

Personnel should not inflate the PFD whilst strapped in the FROG

(exception basis) RML recommend that this style is used carefully to prevent accidental inflation

Pre-Loading FROG-3 will take 3 seated passengers (3x90 kg), each with 20 kg of kit (luggage or tools) Luggage nets or boxes are fitted to lower buoyancy panels Each passenger is assigned a seat by the deck crew

Check at the assigned pre-lifting safe area: Have you seen the FROG induction video? Have you have checked your life jacket? Await instruction from the deck crew to begin embarkation

Luggage Storage Luggage should be stored in the nets provided Each passenger is permitted up a maximum of 20 kg When instructed by the deck crew passengers should stow their luggage in the nets provided prior to embarking the FROG Upon disembarkation passengers are to remove luggage once instructed by the deck crew that it is safe to do so

Sling Motion Hazards Once landed on deck, the Crane Operator will slacken the lifting sling set During heavy vessel motions a moving sling may present a hazard to passengers – caution is required Deck crew will monitor, remove or advise of this hazard to all passengers Do not take hold of the sling at anytime

Emergency Procedure Crane Operator In the event of an Emergency Situation: Deck crew will give the Crane Operator the Emergency Stop signal

Emergency Stop Signal: Both arms point upwards with the palms facing forwards

Emergency Procedure Passengers

In the unlikely event of an emergency follow the instructions of the deck crew at all times

Emergency Procedure Passengers Should a problem occur on the deck: The deck crew will shout “OUT-OUT-OUT” Personnel will release the seat belt and leave the FROG immediately Deck crew will advise and direct you to a safe area

If the transfer is interrupted whilst between vessel and installation: Remain seated and strapped in Recovery procedures will be initiated Await instructions

FROG-3 MedEvac Capability Safe, comfortable and Secure environment for walking casualties Stretcher capability for serious injuries Capacity for 1 supporting passenger during transfer Central column can be used to hang I.V/medical equipment Known medical reasons for use of FROG – broken arms, broken legs, eye injuries, suspected heart attacks, back injuries

Converting FROG-3 to MedEvac Mode Comprehensive instructions are contained within the FROG-3 User Manual Tools Required 6 mm Hex Key (for M10 bolts 8 mm Hex Key (for M12 bolts 17 mm Wrench (for M10 bolts 19 mm Wrench (for M12 bolts Box/Bag for Loose Fittings FROG-3 Diagrams

– Seat, Stretcher Frame) – Buoyancy) – Seat) – Luggage Box)

Stretcher Mode Conversion Procedure Remove the bolts (4 x M12 Dome Cap) and spacers from lower buoyancy blocks B and C Note: The latest FROGs do not have spacers P/N F-01-048 between the lower buoyancy modules and the frame Fix lower buoyancy units B and C to outside of unit. Tighten the M12 dome cap bolts to hand tight with hex key Note: Over-tightening of these bolts can lead to damaging buoyancy units

Change-out to MedEvac Mode Locate buoyancy panel B Using manufacturer issued Allen key, undo 2 x Allen bolts on outer frame Remove buoyancy panel B, affix to outside of frame and re-secure with Allen Bolts Locate buoyancy panel C Using manufacturer issued Allen key, undo 2 x Allen bolts on outer frame Remove buoyancy panel C, affix to outside of frame and re-secure with Allen Bolts

Change-out to MedEvac Mode (continued)

Both lower buoyancy panels of B and C are now securely fixed to the outside of the FROG’s frame Assembly should resemble this Photograph

Change-out to MedEvac Mode (continued) Remove the seat that is located between the 2 buoyancy panels that have been fixed to the outside of the FROG, again using the Allen Key Tidy the seat harnesses to lie behind the seat as shown

Change-out to MedEvac Mode (continued) Locate stainless steel stretcher frame (supplied with each new FROG-3 unit) Position the stretcher frame on the seat base Align the tab with the hole on circular plate and fix with M10 dome cap bolt and wing nut

Change-out to MedEvac Mode (continued) Ensure the stretcher casualty is securely strapped into the stretcher using stretcher straps Using three persons to lift the stretcher (two either side at shoulders, one at feet), move stretcher head first through door B – C (door opening with stretcher frame) Place the head-end of the stretcher on to the stretcher frame and slide the stretcher into position

Change-out to MedEvac Mode (continued) Secure stretcher in position with two straps provided Begin by feeding fork end of the strap through eyelets on the stretcher frame Then through closest handles of the stretcher and continue around through to the second stretcher handle Fasten underneath Ensure the stretcher is secure

Change-out to MedEvac Mode (continued)

One other passenger takes seat in 1 of the remaining 2 seats Strap-in (as per previous instructions) Ready for MedEvac Transfer
