2020-10-01_TS_ART_V02.1
The Instructor and course participants shall discuss:
What specific rescue preparations and emergency and communication procedures apply in their own organization, e.g. concerning: Number of rescue personnel available (on site) and the required response time for additional (advanced rescue) back up. Rescue training level depending on your work location in the WTG and number of personnel (e.g. working in the nacelle, or in the tower) Communication procedures of operation, e.g. communication to backup rescue team, Emergency Medical Treatment (EMT) i.e. ambulance and fire service, Site Lead, service vessel, helicopter Search And Rescue (SAR), and the means of communication - radio or phone (cell, IP or satellite phone) National and/or local requirements (e.g. confined space regulations and procedures) Estimated time for professional emergency response providers to arrive What to be aware of (during this training) concerning what specific elements in their own WTG type/WTG environment might differ from the training scenario environment (to visualize and enhance learning transfer) Turbine design (e.g. layout, pathways, access ways, components, obstacles, hatches, Heli pad).
EVACUATION STRATEGY, SINGULAR RESCUER
Each course participant shall:
Explain the consequences of performing a rescue operation as a single rescuer, as compared to a team operation, as elaborated below. Explain the importance of end-to-end rescue strategy planning and how to organize the entire setup and operation i.e. what to do, when and how Explain that PPE lanyards available are limited to two of each type (fall restraint and fall arrest) Explain what equipment to rig / utilize / layout where, to achieve a correct setup the first time Explain how to evaluate where you should be located and how you can move from one side of the IP to the other (if relevant), e.g. by removing hatch between hub and nacelle Explain how to assess and determine evacuation strategy during a rescue operation, attending to a clear and preferred evacuation route (e.g. removing hatches within the rescue route), where you should be located during the rescue operation, in relation to moving past the injured person and the limitations related to the singular rescue. Demonstrate how to establish means of communication with incident/site command in own organization Be aware that a singleton rescue operation could take more time, then a team rescue operation and the effect this could have on the medical condition of the IP.
