Why must rescue plans be practised/drilled in advance rather than only written down?

A. Drills are only useful for new crew members

B. Written plans are always sufficient on their own

C. A rescue plan that has never been rehearsed is unlikely to be executed correctly or quickly under the stress of a real emergency

D. Drills are a regulatory formality with no safety benefit

A. First aid, CPR, defibrillation

B. Self-rescue, assisted (mechanically aided) rescue, and fully assisted rescue

C. Harness check, lanyard check, anchor check

D. Verbal reassurance, radio call, helicopter evacuation

A. It isn't unacceptable - the equipment arresting the fall is sufficient on its own

B. It only matters for work over water

C. Because surviving the initial fall means nothing if the worker then dies of suspension trauma while waiting for help that was never planned

D. It is only a paperwork issue, not a safety issue
