!
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,

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.
