Lift Evacuation Services
ANSI B77 Standard for Lift Evacuation, Section 4.3.2.5.7 states:
Customized ANSI B77 Evacuation Plan
Whether your aerial tramway or gondola is a new installation or has been running for years, having a current ANSI B77 evacuation plan and a well-trained team using the latest equipment and rescue techniques are essential and required elements of a safe and compliant operation. Our lift evacuation training program incorporates all these elements into a comprehensive, site-specific and personalized course by top instructors in the industry to assure you have the best ANSI B77 evacuation plan and rescue team for your operation. Our team evaluates your aerial lift specifications and customizes a written, site-specific B77 Evacuation Plan, which is then shared as a collaborative document.
Adapting to Year-Round Operations
Many existing gondola operators have based their evacuation plan on winter ski season criteria but as more resorts are expanding their operations to summer use by foot passengers, a whole new set of criteria is required, and excellent solutions are available. Additionally, there is an increase in new installations built specifically for foot passenger use. Our training program addresses the ANSI B77 evacuation criteria in the new section M regarding foot passengers to assure you can provide an evacuation for all your customers, regardless of age, size or disabilities.
Comprehensive Lift Evacuation Training
Every gondola–aerial lift presents a unique situation that requires a custom approach to developing an appropriate evacuation plan: considering variables such as the structure, the cabins, the terrain, the best equipment choices, the prior experience level of team members and the diversity of passengers. Our training program begins with a site survey that allows us to customize the absolute best solutions for your unique installation and customers and concludes with your team being able to safely run full evacuation scenarios.
