New Technicians

With the new cliff equipment there are 3 roles for the team members.

1) Operations - the members on the top of the cliff setting up and handling the equipment,

2) Technician - the person going over the cliff,

3) Officer in Charge - as it says on the packet!

After nearly 42 hours of training Messrs Brown,Rockett,Bentham and Lacey got authorised by the Sector Manager in all 3 roles and this takes the team into the final stages of using this new equipment.

Last night saw us start at 6pm carrying out just about every possible situation and set up you can have, there was a slight delay as I was being winched up the cliff the team disappeared to deal with an incident ! however it was soon back to complete the question side of the assessment finishing at 11pm.

The final stage will require a couple more of the team assessed for the operations role and then we will finally move over to the new equipment........but it doesnt stop then as we have to requalify every three years in each of the roles and bring some of the others up to technician level.
