5. Safe assembly points and muster list

Adequate measures must be taken to protect evacuation points and safe assembly points from heat, smoke and, as far as possible, the effects of explosion, and to ensure that escape routes to and from evacuation points and safe assembly points remain passable. These measures must be such as to provide protection to workers for a sufficient period to enable safe evacuation, escape and rescue to be organized and carried out where necessary. Where required by the safety and health document referred to in 1.1, one of the protected locations specified in 5.1 must provide appropriate facilities to enable the equipment specified in point 3 of this Part C to be remote-controlled and the shore and emergency services to be communicated with. Safe assembly points and evacuation points must be readily accessible from accommodation and work areas. For each individual safe assembly point, a list containing the names of workers assigned to that safe assembly point must be kept up to date and displayed. A list of persons assigned special duties in the event of an emergency must be provided and displayed at suitable locations at the workplace. Their names must be noted in the written instructions referred to in point 3.6 of Part A.
