11.6 RESCUE EQUIPMENT PROVISIONS
Helicopter crash rescue equipment is a fundamental component of a properly prepared and certified offshore helideck, ready for operations.
NOTE: During helideck inspections, it is often found that the crash rescue equipment is incomplete and in poor condition. Also, access and lighting at the storage locations is often poor.

CAP 437, Chapter 5.
11.6.2 Rescue Equipment Cabinets
The provision of at least one set of helicopter crash rescue equipment is required in order to support helideck firefighting and rescue activities. The equipment must be easily accessed by the helideck / fire crew, kept in complete and serviceable condition, and be ready for use in the vicinity of the helideck.
On larger helidecks it may be considered appropriate to provide more than one set of crash rescue equipment. This case may arise if gaining quick access to a single set is difficult or, if it is likely that a single set of equipment could be compromised as a result of a helicopter crash.
11.6.2.1 Location
An ideal location for Crash Rescue Equipment on installations is on the monitor / access platforms providing there is sufficient space available and the cabinet or chest can be protected from a conflagration on the helideck. On vessels, location can be slightly more difficult and is dependent on helideck location (e.g. bow or stern mounted, elevated or at main deck level) and the availability of suitable adjacent space. On foredeck-mounted helidecks, there may be space available behind the bridge wings.
Alternatively, the cabinet / chest can be located in close proximity to the helideck on an adjacent access walkway or stairway platform. In this case it is imperative to consider the location very carefully so as to avoid hindering personnel escape from the helideck and causing problems for the helideck / fire crew in retrieving the equipment when needed. Placing the cabinet / chest where several stairs have to be negotiated is not acceptable.
Wherever the Crash Rescue Equipment Cabinet(s) are located, the designer should ensure that the internals can be illuminated by some form of local lighting
(e.g. by placing the cabinet adjacent to general walkway lights or vice versa).
11.6.2.2 Equipment Specification
Helicopter Rescue Equipment cabinets should be robustly constructed and suitably protected from the marine environment. Normally the cabinets are manufactured from high quality GRP (glass re-inforced plastic) supplied ready coloured in RED.
The cabinet door / lid design should incorporate a storm proof seal, robust hinges and secure locking arrangements. Door / lid stays should be provided. Drainage / ventilation holes should be incorporated into the cabinet or an alternate means employed to prevent condensation. Inside the door / lid a suitable arrangement should be provided to hold the inventory checklist.
