G WO Advanced Rescue Training Standard / V6 02032026
Embedded Single Rescuer training directly into ART
-H and ART -N through dedicated application
•
lessons (~90 minutes each).
Embedded Single Rescuer refresher content (≥90 minutes) into ART -HR and ART -NR, with a clear expectation that each participant completes at least one full Single Rescuer scenario in both initial and refresher modules.
•
Removed all separate Single Rescuer course codes and references.
•
Rescue methods & scenario design
• Removed references to tensioned line, zip line and aerial ropeway setups from objectives, examples and instructor guidance.
• Introduced and defined cross hauling / controlled horizontal transfer, with explicit alignment to equipment manufacturer instructions for use and centre -specific risk assessment.
Re-designed HSIBR and NTBR scenarios so that:
•
o Hub/spinner/blade rescues are treated as integrated scenarios in ART
-H/H-R, and
o Evacuation from nacelle to base, enclosed -space and crawl -space rescues are combined into coherent scenario blocks in ART -N/N -R, leading into Rescue up.
Clarified that timetables define the intended sequence of lessons; only minor re
-ordering within a
•
single lesson is allowed.
Training, assessment, facilities and instructors
• Clarified training -facility expectations so that mock -ups reflect realistic spatial constraints of nacelle, hub and tower (no bypassing confined areas by walking around outside the structure) and require the use of structural or certified anchor points only.
• Strengthened guidance on use of the Participant Performance Assessment (PPA) form, including making clear to participants when they are practising and when they are being formally assessed.
• Clarified instructor expectations for packaging, head support and optional cervical collar use, requiring demonstrable skills above participant level and application of Annex 3 and manufacturer instructions.
Definitions, annexes and editorial clean -up
• Updated and aligned key definitions (e.g. Rescue, Evacuation, Cross hauling) to support consistent use across all modules.
• Rewrite of Annex 3 from a cervical -collar focus to “Head support during rescue”, reflecting current evidence and positioning collars as an optional, last -resort tool in specific contexts.
