You have been pulled aloft in a bosun's chair rigged to a mast that you intend to paint. You are now supporting your weight by seizing the hauling part and the standing part of the gantline in one hand. What is the next action you should take in securing the bosun's chair?
• Bosun's chair safety: how you secure yourself once aloft so your hand is not your only support • Gantline parts: difference between the standing part, hauling part, and where the becket bend is made • Safety hitch: how the hauling and standing parts are used together to lock the chair in position
• If you are already holding both the hauling and standing parts in one hand to support your weight, what step must happen next so that your hand is no longer the only thing keeping you up? • Which option actually creates a positive mechanical lock on the line at your current working height, rather than just securing something at the mast or applying more pull from below? • Look at which step you would logically perform after you are already at the correct height and want to stay there securely while working, without depending on deck personnel.
• Which choice describes forming a temporary safety hitch at your position on the gantline itself? • Which actions could be done from the deck and therefore are not the next personal action you would take while you are already aloft? • Which step directly connects or locks the hauling part and standing part together so they cannot slip while you work?
