SECTION 1. RSS65 Deck Mounted ESCAPE CHUTE SYSTEMS
Call or email us for further information on Toll Free 1 -866 8777 email [email protected]
Risk Safety Systems US Inc. Vertical Escape Chute Systems designed as a device by which
persons in immediate danger through fire or smoke, with no alternative escape option can
escape, should the standard method of evacuation (TEMPSC) be unavailable. The escape
chute is also readily employed as a primary means of safe access to a life raft when life rafts
are the primary means of evacuation (normally unmanned installations, bridge linked multi
jacket facilities etc.)
The Vertical Escape Chute is designed to allow rapid safe access to sea within a chute
system that provides a fire protected environment, thus protecting personnel using the system
from sea based or sub cellar deck fires and heat flux.
The Vertical Escape Chute can be utilized as a stand alone unit located adjacent to the life raft
or can be supplied as a unit that has fully integrated life-rafts called IECS.
The Vertical Escape Chute can also be utilized for most offshore applications and vessel
types.
OFFSHORE ESCAPE CHUTE APPLICATIONS : STAND ALONE OFFSHORE OIL & GAS RSS65 deck mounted, stand alone evacuation system, can be mounted into a steel platform at the perimeter of the installation adjacent to the life
raft. To operate, open lid, pull handle chute will deploy and personnel can evacuate to sea level (approx 22-30 per minute
dependent upon drop height).
Can be partially integrated by utilizing either customer or RSS supplied deck mounted life rafts. The deck mounted throw
over life raft painter lines and are fed into the chute container and attached to the systems debarkation boarding raft. To
operate, deploy the deck mounted rafts then the escape chute system. The main rafts are then recovered at sea level and
tied off to the boarding raft for cross boarding. The ECS65 is easily installed, maintained and inexpensive compared to other
competitive systems.
Maintenance, the RSS65 is easily maintained requiring only visual inspections recommended once per month.
Annual inspections are carried out by RSS on an annual basis. On the fifth year the system is completed
unpacked and a full test carried out. RSS can provides a maintenance contract arrangement .
Training the Trainer Programs
RSS offer our unique Train the Trainer programs whereby RSS train key personnel to become certified
trainers either at our facility or on the customers. A one day course in provided that consists of a classroom
morning session and afternoon training session on our training chutes. Each successful candidate is then
certified for two years. This service is offered as it reduces customer costs by having to pay for each person to
undergo training.
Escape Chute Configurations RSS offer three type of chute configuration, these are as follows:-
Vertical Three layered chute suitable for fixed height applications requires a 3ft air gap offering 650 heat flux protection. Vertical top section and lower variable height Nomex/kevlar zig-zag style chute for ballast and strong wave/wind conditions. Vertical Nomex/kevlar Netted zig-zag chute with additional heat resistance outer layer offering 650 heat flux protection.

ECS RSS-VS200 VERTICAL ESCAPE CHUTE! THREE LAYRED SUITABLR FOR FIXED HEIGHT
APPLICATIONS
How is it Constructed? The Vertical Escape Chute consists of three separate fabric tubes inserted concentrically one within
the other. The Inner Chute supports the weight of the chute users and is the chute through which the personnel traverses.
The Middle Chute consists of a nylon material into which a coiled stainless steel spring offers structural rigidity. The Outer
Chute is fire resistant to 660 degrees centigrade and protects the occupant from flame or heat flux as they descend to sea.
The basic floor evacuation system can be mounted into a steel platform, or provided with a purpose built cantilever frame to
allow the chute container to be overhung from decks or structures. To operate all It needs is a clear uninterrupted drop from
the evacuation point down to sea level MSL.
1: The storage-deployment device shown left is the interface
between the evacuating structure and the escape chute.
2: The Escape Chute, can be modified to suite most lengths and the
height of the application.

Layer 1: The Outside Layer-
Flameproof Layer To protect you from the flames and radiated
heat, this layer can withstand a constant
temperature of 660 Deg "C", and starts to
melt at 800 Deg C.
Layer 2: The Middle Layer-Breaking
Layer This layer has a series of stainless steel
coiled springs sewn into the material, these
springs have a small diameter, so as you
travel through them they restrict you, but will
not hold you.
The chute user will place pressure on the
chute's interior wall with their leg's and arms,
the more pressure they apply, the more they
slow , less pressure and they speed up.
Layer 3: The Inner Layer - Support
layer. This is the layer that is connected to the
storage/deployment device, and holds the
chute in place; it can withstand the dead
weight load of 5 tones.
Just sit on the edge, with your legs in the
chute, and feel it grip you, slide forward and
lower your self to waist level, spread your
legs, and slowly lower yourself fully into the
chute. By applying and releasing pressure
against the interior wall of the chute, with
your arms and legs, YOU have control of
your descent speed.

SECTION 2. RSS66 IECS Integrated Escape Chute System
The IECS is an integrated Escape Chute System providing a vehicle for personnel who are required to utilise Life Rafts to evacuate an installation and move from deck level into Life Rafts via a protected, enclosed modular system.
Personnel Descend through the chute to the Debarkation Raft, transfer to The 50 man SOLAS life-rafts which are then detached from the debarkation raft and away from the hazard to await rescue.
The IECS integrates the Life Rafts with a reliable method of descent to sea that offers protection from heat flux, flame impingement and Smoke/gas.
Personnel descent through the chute to a debarkation raft at the bottom of the chute column to which the Life Rafts are connected by their painter lines.
The system enables a large volume of personnel to evacuate from a topsides location into Life Rafts without exposure to flame/heat or smoke without entering the water. Transit time varies but each person will spend approx 15 seconds transiting from topsides to the debarkation raft.
The IECS is a low cost low maintenance, low weight, modular unit skid mounted and easily integrated into any existing or new build facility; needing only an unobstructed drop to sea below and 7ft GAP created in the deck edge rails.

Risk Safety Systems Fully Integrated Escape Evacuation System
The RSS fully integrated escape chute system with life rafts and debarkation raft is a skid mounted system. Offering a fully integrated escape & evacuation system designed to enable users to safely evacuate to sea using the integrated escape chute and life-raft system.
The system comprises:-
1 x Mild Steel powder coated steel box section welded skid, powder coated caterpillar yellow. (Access to the skid is via a purpose built access gate.
2 x 12/25/50 man SOLAS approved life raft with hydrostatic release and painter line for each system. 1 x Escape Chute, fully integrated with a SOLAS rated 25 man Hydrostatic debarkation life-raft with
integrated lanyard system for life raft retrieval at debarkation point.
HOW IT WORKS: -
In emergency, the crew open the gate and enter the skid. Lift the lid of the escape chute container, pull the release handle, this releases the latching mechanism and allows the debarkation raft to free fall with the chute attached.
At the same time the life rafts are released, these are attached to the debarkation raft via the rafts painter lines. The debarkation raft and life rafts are inflated using the hydrostatic release method.
The escape chute is designed to have a top fixed length section of the conventional three layered type chute. The lower level chute is of the net style and is designed to operate at the maximum operating height variance, any operational height under the maximum will be adjusted by the bottom 3ft sections of the chute remaining folded in the floor of debarkation raft . 4 x guide lines are used these run up the total length of the netted style chute and ensure that that all open and folded chute sections remain in there correct position at all times.
General Operating Components:
1. Skid Assembly with purpose built hand railings and access gate.
2. Painter line is secured to the debarkation raft and attached to both the life- rafts.
3. The crew open the chute container lid and pull upwards on the red handled lever, this ispositioned on the right hand side of the chute container.
4. As the debarkation raft and chute deploy both life-rafts deploy automatically and are attachedto the debarkation raft via there painter lines. Evacuees descend through the chute to thedebarkation raft and pull in both rafts to the debarkation raft.

Chute Fabric Specification and Evacuation Statistics - Netted Chute
RSS DuPont Kevlar and DuPont NG2160 Netted Type Escape Chute.
Nomex Kevlar used in offshore-rig evacuation chutes was a strategic decision. DuPont Kevlar brand fiber is five times stronger than steel at equal weight. It is now widely known as the key strength
ingredient in a wide range of personal-protection devices, from bullet-resistant jackets to buildings
equipped with a DuPont Storm Room with Kevlar - capable of protecting people and valuables from hurricanes, tornadoes and powerful Category 5 storms.
Kevlar is synonymous with lightweight strength and Nomex with fire resistance, said Ruth Farrell, Global Marketing Manager for DuPont Kevlar in the oil and gas industry. These materials are ideal for an offshore platform based environment, where sudden danger can come from fire and explosion, and
the rescue can easily be hampered by wind and waves.
Customer safety aligns perfectly with DuPonts commitment to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere.
Kevlar adds strength to a variety of safety applications, from our offshore oil platform personnel escape
systems to lifejackets for firefighters and body armor worn by customs agents and harbor police,
The dangers on offshore platforms can be perilous. When disaster strikes, the preferred evacuation
method is via helicopter or life boat as a primary means of evacuation. However, in the event of a sudden
emergency, such as fire, secondary evacuation capabilities are required if personnel are unable to reach
the life boat station.
However, in the event of a sudden emergency, such as fire, explosion, or severe weather--or under any
conditions that make air evacuation impractical or impossible--an equally dependable, chute based
escape method becomes critical. Creating that secondary method is where RSS excels.
About 20 years ago, inspired by netting used by fishermen, a net-based escape chute was designed in
Norway. Offering offshore-platform workers to safely climb down to an attached boarding platform. The
chute concept featured seawater-resistant stainless steel rings reinforced with Kevlar. It also
incorporated Nomex to enhance its fire-resistant properties.
DuPont Kevlar was a natural component of chute-design specifications. Its fire resistance andstrength were well known in Europe when the escape chute was first conceived.

Introduction Vertically Stored Cantilevered IECS Escape Chute System.
Note: chute options are stated for the ECS & IECS Systems
Risk Safety Systems would require full locational layout plans and rig deck drawings to be able to provide an accurate design
criteria prior to manufacture. Met Ocean data is also required to enable RSS to calculate wave, wind and sea action within the
operational location.
This information is used to calculate the weighted stabilization plate that sits 6ft under water when deployed.
Risk Safety Systems in all cases provide full layout, fabrication and AutoCAD design drawings, these would be produced and
submitted for approval prior to manufacture. RSS can send an engineer if required to carry out a physical survey, ensuring
correct sizing and engineering design.
Site survey would comprise of the following:
1. Photograph, take measurements and prepare full written assessment of the proposed fitting location.
2. Review skid measurements in relation to the proposed fitting location, ensuring specification sizes are suitable.
3. Check floor and wall structures and provide correct information with regard to bottom skid mounting and top draw bridge
motor location.
4. Check operational height and confirm correct chute tensile strength and weighting methods.
The skid footprint can be modified and re-sized to suite the application, however a minimum foot print of 7ft x 7ft would be
required. RSS have included a welded angled plate at the bottom of the skid, this would act as a stopper and butt up against
the rig floor plate, this is assuming the floor structure is deep enough, if not a steel plate could be fitted on the end of the floor
section, this would ensure the stopper has a suitable structure to provide additional support.
A drawbridge system can be utilized for vertical storage, if overhead space is an issue floor mounted electric/hydraulic control
arms could be used.
NOTE:
In all cases power is only required for retrieval of the system, for deployment the hydraulic fluid is bled into the return
reservoir lowering the chute system into position.

30 Person SOLAS B, Debarkation/Boarding Raft:
Each system is supplied with a debarkation/boarding platform which is packed and sits on the main stabilization plate within
the chute container. The raft is self inflating and designed to commence inflation as soon as it reaches sea level. This is
achieved by attaching the painter line to the stabilization plate, as the stabilization deck continues to sink when lowered and
deployed the shortened debarkation raft painter line releases the inflation valve and is fully inflated in less than 60 seconds.
12/25/37/50 Person Zodiac SOLAS A pack self righting life rafts:
Each system can be supplied with qty 4 x SOLAS rated self righting life rafts. The main rafts are lowered with the main skid
assembly and upon reaching sea level roll off their stacking frames. The painter lines are attached to the debarkation/
boarding platform and make ease of recovery when at sea level. The first persons into the debarkation boarding raft pull the
main rafts in and pull the painter lines to inflate. The rafts are then tied off to the debarkation raft until completion of cross
boarding. Upon full evacuation the rafts are released and float free awaiting recovery.
Operational & System Performance:
The Escape Chute System is designed to be overhung and in all cases requires an uninterrupted drop to sea level.
The stabilization plate deck when not in use fits directly into the opening of the cantilever frame and acts as the floor deck
when in the stored position. The debarkation raft and chute are packed into the centre of the stabilization deck with qty 4 x
life rafts stored in containers and stacked two high each side.
The main rafts also sit on the stabilization deck as the whole floor is lowered when deployed.
The rafts sit on the deck plate and roll off upon reaching sea level. The main rafts are attached to the debarkation raft by
their painter lines making recovery and inflation easy.
Two overhead dual winches are supplied, these run the wire braided cables down and connect to each chute section at
1.21m intervals through the floor of the debarkation raft and attached to the stabilization deck in four places using heavy duty
9071.847kg eyes and shackles.
The system uses two winches one each side these are dual drum operation and feed two cables each. A total of four cables
are run from the winches through the chutes stainless steel connecting rings at every 1.21m, then through the debarkation
raft and secured to the stabilization deck. Both winches are fully synchronized and require no electrical power for
deployment, for recovery purposes electrical power is used.
Deploying the System
Open the main container door and step inside, using the pneumatic knife cut the secondary deployment retaining strap; this
is provided to ensure the system is not deployed in error or by accident during inspection or drills.
In the case of the deck mounted system for the South Process Deck area, rotate the platform seaward first and lock into
position prior to deployment. Continue with the deployment procedure.
Open the wall mounted panel that states DEPLOYMENT CONTROL PANEL, upon opening the panel and only after cutting the secondary deployment strap, push the hydraulic arm inwards and
hold, the system will start to deploy, check to ensure that the system has not snagged and that the winches are lowering the
chute assembly/deck skid evenly.
By releasing the handle the system will stop, if in doubt check then continue, color coded markers are wrapped on each
cable this shows when maximum deployment has been reached, release the hydraulic deployment lever and make a visual
check to ensure that the following has occurred:
Do not enter the chute until the following checks have been completed:
The deck is below the water line and the main life rafts have floated free and there painter lines are attached to the
debarkation raft. The debarkation raft has fully inflated and is sitting central at the base of the chute column.
The chute has not tangled or snagged and is fully deployed with the last visual chute section sitting in the base of the
debarkation/boarding raft. REMEMBER an escape chute is a critical safety device, check and double check before entering.
Ounce in the chute you cannot come back up.
Upon completion of all checks the evacuation process can proceed. 39

SECTION 2ASECTION 3I. RSS66V VIECS Vertically Stored Integrated General Arrangement SECTION 2ASECTION 6. TEMPSC Davit Launch Escape Chute for Life Boats
TEMPSC Modification Davit Launch Life Boats
Executive Summary.
Totally Enclosed Mechanically Propelled Survival Craft (TEMPSC), more generally referred to as Lifeboats are
available in a variety of craft types; with a variety of release gear types, engines and, davit/winch types.
They are boarded at deck level and once fully loaded the vessel is then lowered to sea on davits or dropped free fall
from a cradle. In either case the personnel are required to embark and be seated prior to and during the launch
process.
They are widely utilized by the offshore oil & gas industry as the primary means of evacuation from a facility when
Helicopter evacuation is not available. However, as early as October 1986 (within months of their use becoming
mandatory in UK), UK regulators had become concerned at the number of reported accidents involving davit launched
TEMPSC on-load release gear.
As a result UK Department of Trade (DOT) issued an M.1248 notice reminding those involved in lifeboat drills & tests
of the need for full and regular training in the correct use of the equipment.
Since that time and despite regular warnings from flag state administrations, underwriters and classification societies
the number of accidents and seriousness of the consequences has continued to rise. This has lead to a number of
studies into Life boat safety.
These include:
OCIMF Results of a Survey into Life Boat Safety (Ref 2). OCIMF Intertank & SIGTTO Life Boat Incident Survey 2000 (Ref 3 & 4). MAIB Review of Life Boat and Launching Systems Accidents (Ref 5).
As a result the need for a system that would enable the TEMPSC to be launched and then boarded was identified.
This paper sets forth a scheme for an Alternative Embarkation System for Davit Launched TEMPSC that allows the
TEMPSC to be launched with minimal/no manning; allowing the crew to embark once the TEMPSC is safely deployed
to sea level.
This document is supported by drawings, calculations and other supporting data which are the intellectual property of
Risk Safety Systems Inc. The proposed embarkation scheme is described in summary below:
In evaluating possible options for the reduction of risks posed to personnel evacuating from an offshore facility using a
Davit Launched TEMPSC it became obvious from the data derived from various studies referenced within this
document that there existed a primary risk driver.
That was, the need for personnel to board the TEMPSC at its stowed location at various deck levels all of which
required the TEMPSC to be lowered fully manned 30-50m to sea level. This exposes the personnel to the risk of fall to
sea should the launch system fail.
Therefore, attention was given to reducing personnel exposure to the risks associated with lowering the TEMPSC to
sea while manned. In order to significantly reduce the risks associated with the use of a davit launched TEMPSC
during an evacuation it is necessary to minimize the exposure of the crew to the risks associated with lowering the
TEMPSC fully manned.
The implied solution is to modify the process such that the TEMPSC can be launched and the crew board once the
TEMPSC is at a safe height location at or slightly above sea level.
This removes the risk of the TEMPSC falling to sea fully loaded likely resulting in fatality or injury to the crew.

SECTION 2ASECTION 3I. RSS66V VIECS Vertically Stored Integrated General Arrangement SECTION 2ASECTION 6. TEMPSC Davit Launch Escape Chute for Life Boats
TEMPSC Modification Davit Launch Life Boats
Executive Summary Cont.
On that basis RSS propose that a stand alone lightweight access system be installed such that it locates a vertical
escape chute over the rear top access hatch to the TEMPSC. Figures 1.1 and 1.2 illustrate the system installed over
an existing TEMPSC station. As can be seen the system does not interfere with access for maintenance or launch of
the TEMPSC or Davits.
As can be seen the proposed system is simple, low weight, low cost and based on RSS existing tried and tested
vertical escape chute technology. The system can be installed with TEMPSC in place with minimal interference to
facility as no hot work is required (platform is bolted into position).
In conclusion, the RSS TEMPSC Embarkation System offers a significantly reduced risk to personnel requiring
evacuation from a facility via davit launched TEMPSC for the following reasons:
It eliminates risk to personnel of falling to sea in fully loaded TEMPSC should Davit or other system fail. This implies a
significant potential reduction in IRPA, PLL or FAR for offshore facilities while not imposing significant additional costs.
Removes personnel from hazards at topsides enabling them to wait in the TEMPSC at or near sea level while any final
personnel missing from muster are being located. This eliminates exposure to heat flux, flame or contamination of
TEMPSC environment by combustion products which may be more likely to occur if the TEMPSC is boarded and
loaded at deck level.
The system can be retrofitted with no significant impact on facility operations or use of current evacuation systems.
The system is low cost and lightweight with low maintenance.
Personnel boarding time is not increased significantly by using the vertical escape chute.

SECTION 2ASECTION 3I. RSS66V VIECS Vertically Stored Integrated General Arrangement SECTION 2ASECTION 7. TEMPSC Davit Launch Escape Chute for Life Boats
Derrickman Escape Chute System
Provides vertical rapid evacuation from Offshore Derrick Towers in an emergency
situation.
Totally Enclosed and offering heat protection from radiated heat flux. The RSSDM10
Vertical Three Layered Escape Chute is a rapid and safe method of evacuating from
heights to deck level.
Escape Chute Specification:
Three Layered Vertical Escape Chute designed to support a dead weight of 2 ton and heat resistant to 650 degrees with a melting point of 800 degrees. The Chute length
varies dependent on operating height, however in all cases a one meter air gap is
required at deck level for evacuees to exit the chute.
Layer 1:
The Outside Layer-Flameproof Layer Is there to protect you from the flames and radiated
heat, this layer can withstand a constant temperature of 650 Deg "C", and starts to melt at
800 Deg C.
There is a space between the outer and middle layer, this reduces the radiated heat being
transferred to the middle chute.
Layer 2:
The Middle Layer-Breaking Layer. This layer has a series of stainless steel coiled springs
sewn into the material, these springs have a small diameter, so as you travel
through them they restrict you, but will not hold you.
The evacuee only needs to apply pressure on the chute's interior wall with leg's and arms,
the more pressure, the more you slow down, less pressure and you will speed up.
In all cases descent speed is controlled and safe.
Layer 3:
The Inner Layer - Support layer This is the layer that is connected to the
storage/deployment device, and holds the chute in place; it can withstand the dead
weight load of 2 tones.
