G WO Advanced Rescue Training Standard / V6 02032026
The aim of this lesson is to enable participants to perform a rescue of an injured person from a WTG blade and out of the hub to a safe place. Rescue exercises should be conducted with a holistic approach, where casualty assessment, care, and rescue or evacuation to a place of safety are included within the scope of the exercise.
After having successfully completed this lesson, the participants can:
48) Take initiative to understand common hazards , risks and control measures or risk mitigation in a WTG (Knowledge , basic level)
49) Manage a rescue operation, using the correct techniques to fit a harness or improvised harness by the use of a rescue sling around the injured person's chest, and other PPE (e.g. helmet, safety glasses) onto an injured person, in an enclosed space in a WTG (Abil ity, advanced level)
The use of a rescue sling as an improvised harness is permitted only where the training provider’s risk assessment and local procedures allow it, and only in enclosed spaces where it is not possible to fit a full body harness on an injured person. In such cases, the improvised harness may only be used for horizontal extraction of an injured person from the enclosed space and must never be used for lifting or lowering an injured person.
Note
50) Act independently to utilise a manually operated lowering and raising rescue system whilst adhering to the manufacturer's user manual (Ability, intermediate level)
51) Manage an exercise rescue using an
injured person’s personal fall protection equipment without and show how to balance an injured person from a horizontal to
compromising additional fall protection
a vertical configuration (and vice versa) (Ability, advanced level)
52) Act independently to act as the informal rescue team coordinator performing scene assessment and hazard identification, assessing, and determining the rescue strategy (Ability, intermediate level)
53) Take initiative to ensure clear and precise communication in a stressful rescue operation, both with members of the rescue team as a team coordinator and as a team member (Ability, intermediate level)
Where possible, participants shall work in teams of two, with one exercise per team and one participant acting as team coordinator. A rescue dummy should normally be used as the injured person. Use of a live “injured person” is only permitted where this is explicitly allowed and controlled in the training provider’s risk assessment.
Note
ELEMENT 6.1 - RESCUE EXERCISE FROM BLADE
Learning objectives:
54) The participants can perform rescue operations, in a WTG hub, spinner and inside a blade, using certified or structural anchor points, lifting angles, deviation, and edge protection for the rescue equipment (Skills, intermediate level)
