a. manually transport an injured person on a rescue stretcher or transfer board when relevant
b. attach the rescue device to the injured person in a safe and proper manner
c. utilise tagline(s) during one exercise, when performing outside
rescue / evacuation
d. balance an injured person from a horizontal to a vertical position (and vice versa), in order to move the injured person downwards through hatches, or similar
e.
select and utilise certified and structural anchor points
f. apply the theory of lifting angle, angle factor, deviation, and edge protection to the rescue scenario
g. rig and operate the lowering and raising rescue system in a proper manner aiming to achieve a safe and efficient rigging setup, including the utilisation of; an injured person personal fall protection equipment additional fall protection system (if the lowering and raising rescue system is not approved for person lifting )
h. apply rescue methods, techniques, and clear, precise communication during safe ascending and descending rescue operations from a WTG
i. carry out regular checks of the injured person during the entire rescue operation, including first aid primary survey
j. carry out the rescue effort as a team member or team coordinator
k. reduce the risks associated with manual handling and apply further control measures where applicable
l. perform an outside evacuation with the injured person in a horizontal configuration, and the rescue device in passive setup, from a WTG hub or nacelle to a primary assembly area (ground or transition piece)
m. perform an outside evacuation with the injured person in a horizontal configuration, and the rescue device in an active setup, from a transition piece to a secondary assembly area (vessel)
RESCUE FROM ENCLOSED SPACE
135 min.
There are several locations on the turbine where occasionally work needs to take place with reduced horizontal and vertical space, such as in the basement or transition piece, yaw section, transformer room or between canopy and generator of a direct drive WTG. The aim of this lesson is for the participants to be able to apply various techniques to evacuate an injured person from an area with restricted manoeuvrability (filled with sufficient simulated assets) to a location where first aid can be administered.
