1. Fall Prevention & Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS)

To protect a worker from reaching an unguarded edge (restraint) or safely stopping them during a fall (arrest), the mandatory onboard equipment kit must contain: 

Full-Body Harnesses: “A fall arrest kit or a fall recovery kit can include pre-packaged kit such as a harness - most often a full-body harness with leg loops, shoulder and chest straps.” It must feature multiple attachment points (D-rings on back and chest). 
Shock-Absorbing Lanyards: Flexible connecting lines fitted with a built-in energy absorber. This mechanical device is critical to “absorbing energy and limiting the forces applied to the user's body” to safe levels during an arrest. 
Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs) / Personal Fall Limiters: Automatic mechanical lifelines that immediately tension and “lock in the event of a sudden movement or fall, similar to a seatbelt.” These are required for areas with restricted fall clearance. 
Anchorage Connectors & Lifelines: Certified portable beams anchors, slings, and heavy-duty synthetic or steel horizontal/vertical lifelines designed to safely withstand dynamic forces. 

2. Height & Enclosed Space Rescue Equipment

Because a suspended worker risks life-threatening suspension trauma within minutes, the required emergency response gear includes: 

Tripod and Winch Assembly: A lightweight, high-strength rescue tripod stand certified for man-riding and extraction operations. It must feature an integrated “rescue lifting/ lowering device (w/pulley)” and a high-tensile steel wire rope to hoist incapacitated crew members upward.
Rescue Pole Kit: An extendable telescoping pole fitted with specialized catch hooks. This “enables the rescuer to remove a person from danger” remotely by capturing their harness D-ring without the rescuer having to step into the hazard zone. 
Hoisting Stretcher (Neil Robertson or Basket Type): A rigid, specialized stretcher kept in a “readily accessible location” that is legally required and specifically “suitable for hoisting an injured person from spaces below deck” (such as a cargo hold or pump room). 
Suspension Trauma Relief Straps: Small webbed foot-loops attached directly to the full-body harness. They allow a suspended conscious victim to stand up and relieve deadly venous blood pooling in the legs while waiting for the rescue team.
