Once the rescue system is attached, where should a worker exit the bucket?

Exiting the bucket directly across from the anchor point is the safest approach. This position allows the worker to minimize the swing radius of the bucket while ensuring that they are not directly beneath the anchor above. By exiting from this position, the worker remains clear of any potential movement or instability that may occur if they exit from the sides, particularly if the bucket were to shift or sway.

Safety protocols are critical in such situations, and exiting in a manner that keeps the worker distanced from the attachment points reduces the risk of accidents and improves overall stability during the exit process. Additionally, exiting directly across from the anchor point allows for a clearer path to safety, reducing the likelihood of falling or misstepping during the transition from the bucket to the ground.
