Summary

The script discusses critical hazards associated with line handling, including bites, pinch points, and snapback. It emphasizes the importance of staying aware of line tension and the dangers posed by sudden line movements, which can injure or kill. Key safety practices are highlighted, such as avoiding the bite zone and being cautious of loose clothing. Snapback, in particular, is described as one of the most lethal risks, with the potential for lines to snap back with deadly force. Proper precautions, like marking snapback zones, can prevent accidents and save lives.

Takeaways

• 😀 Always be aware of the hazards posed by loops or loose lines, as they can injure or kill if the line suddenly tightens.
• 😀 People working near 'bites' need to be cautious with hand and foot placement. Never stand in the bite of a line or allow a body part to be caught in the bite.
• 😀 Pinch points are dangerous areas where lines meet fixed objects or other lines under tension. These can crush fingers, hands, toes, and feet.
• 😀 Be especially mindful of loose clothing or gloves that can be caught in pinch points.
• 😀 Snapback is a deadly hazard that occurs when a line under too much tension breaks and recoils with tremendous force.
• 😀 Always avoid the snapback zone, which is the likely path of a parted line. Marking these zones on the deck plating is a good safety practice.
• 😀 Lines wrapped around a lead under tension can be even more dangerous as they can swing in a larger arc, increasing the snapback zone.
• 😀 Snapped lines traveling at high velocity, similar to a rifle shot, can bounce and ricochet off solid surfaces, potentially causing further injuries.
• 😀 Preventing injuries from snapback requires awareness of the environment and strategic planning of safe zones away from potential recoil paths.
• 😀 Always ensure the correct type of line is used, and check that the line is in good condition to reduce the risk of it snapping back.

Q & A

What is a 'bite' in the context of line handling?

A 'bite' refers to a hazard where a section of loose line suddenly tightens, potentially injuring or killing individuals nearby. It occurs when a body part, such as a foot or hand, is caught in the tightening line.

Why is it dangerous to stand in the 'bite' of a line?

Standing in the 'bite' of a line is dangerous because it increases the risk of being caught when the line suddenly tightens, which can lead to severe injury or death.

What should people working near a line do to stay safe?

People working near a line should always be cautious about their hand and foot placement, ensuring that they never stand in the bite of the line or allow their body parts to get caught in or near a line under tension.

What are pinch points, and why are they hazardous?

Pinch points are areas where lines meet fixed objects or other lines under tension. These points can catch and crush body parts like fingers, hands, toes, and feet, making them a significant safety hazard.

How can loose gloves or clothing contribute to safety risks?

Loose gloves or clothing can get caught in pinch points, leading to serious injuries. It's essential to avoid wearing loose clothing while handling lines to reduce the risk of being trapped.

What is 'snapback' and why is it considered deadly?

'Snapback' occurs when a line under too much tension breaks or parts. The line recoils with tremendous force, potentially striking anything in its path. It is considered one of the most deadly hazards in line handling.

What measures can be taken to avoid the snapback zone?

To avoid the snapback zone, workers should stay clear of the likely path of a parted line. One effective measure is to paint the snapback zones on deck plating as a visual reminder.

Why are snapped lines wrapped around a lead under tension particularly dangerous?

Snapped lines wrapped around a lead under tension are especially dangerous because they can swing around the lead in a larger arc, increasing the snapback zone and the likelihood of injury.

How fast can snapped lines travel, and what is the risk?

Snapped lines can travel at the velocity of rifle shots, meaning they can strike with extreme speed and force. This makes them highly dangerous, and they can even bounce or ricochet off solid surfaces, causing further risk.

What is a good safety practice to mitigate the risk of snapback?

A good safety practice is to mark the snapback zones clearly, such as by painting them on deck plating, to help workers avoid these high-risk areas and ensure their safety when handling lines under tension.
