anchor points for attachment of personal fall protection equipment. The wind turbine may hold a basement section fitted as mentioned, and primarily holding electrical cabinets. In the geared type WTG, access in the nacelle is in general limited to narrow pathways along the left or right side of the main shaft and generator etc. These pathways are often “fitted” with mechanical components and the like, as well as steps and small ladder sections due to variations in floor level, as part of the WTG design – increasing the risk of trips and falls. Access between nacelle and hub is possible through low and often very narrow passageways. To “train as you work” training should be executed by doing real work tasks end-to-end under the actual working procedures, and/or realistic emergency situation (fire, first aid, evacuation or injured person rescue) end-to-end scenarios, in a wind turbine environment.
6.4 Training Equipment
The equipment required for training as listed in Annex 1 must be available and must fulfil national legal requirements as listed in table A3-4 in annex 1 where applicable. A generic approach to teaching safety equipment is applied to this Module aiming to avoid potential product specific additional training on completion of this Module, which may be required by the Course participant’s organisation e.g., prior to site or work. The generic approach is achieved by teaching a variety of safety equipment products within each safety equipment category (e.g., guided type fall arresters), enabling the Course participant to conduct pre-use inspection and to use other safety equipment products compared to those taught during this Module – based on the manufacturer’s user manual but without additional formal training. Where reasonably practicable the training provider shall eliminate the risk of a fall from height. Where it is not possible to eliminate the risk of a fall then the fall factor experienced by any person shall be kept as low as is reasonably practicable. GWO recommends a maximum fall factor of 0.5. To calculate this the following formula has been used, 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 ( 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 ) = 𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿ℎ 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙 , using the maximum allowed lanyard of length 2.00 m and a fall of 1.00 m, 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 ( 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 ) = 1.00 𝑚𝑚 2.00 𝑚𝑚 , 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 ( 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 ) = 0.5. During the evacuation exercises in this module the anchor points used for the attachment of fixed length fall arrest lanyards must be high enough above the ground, or structure below them, so that in the event that a person experiences a fall the shock absorber in their fall arrest lanyard can fully deploy and prevent them from contacting the ground (or structure directly below the anchor point).
