measurement units. It should be noted that in Table O.2.1 the wave heights given are for the open sea and not along the shoreline.The Beaufort wind force scale is based on a ten-minute mean wind speed, in knots, and O.2.1.12 measured 10 m above the ground. (At 2 m above the ground, the wind speed is likely to be around 30 % to 50 % less than the figures quoted.)O.2.2Taking steps to combat the windIt is important to access a local weather forecast prior to starting a rope access task and O.2.2.1 to get regular updates, so that an understanding can be gained of how the weather behaves in the given area when comparing to the initial forecast, e.g. occurrences of sudden turbulence. Local knowledge may also provide useful information when assessing this.
