GWO ADVANCED RESCUE TRAINING STANDARD V02.1 – SINGLE RESCUER: NACELLE, TOWER & BASEMENT RESCUE
2020-10-01_TS_ART_V02.1
The aim of this lesson is for the Course 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 were first aid can be administered.
To successfully complete this lesson of the module, course participants must be able to:
1) Demonstrate how to apply the techniques to successfully rescue the injured person from the enclosed space, in a controlled manner. (L3 – Skill) 2) Explain how to assess and determine rescue strategy (relevant rescue method, technique, certified equipment, and required personnel) in an enclosed space scenario. (L2 – Knowledge) 3) Demonstrate how to apply rescue methods and techniques in performing descending and ascending rescue operations, from a WTG, using a rescue stretcher and transfer board, lowering/raising rescue system (rescue device, pulley system or similar). (L3 – Skill) 4) Demonstrate how 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. Apply rescue head support, fit helmet, safety glasses etc.) onto an injured person, in an enclosed space. (L3 – Skill) Note: The use of a rescue sling as an improvised harness is only to be used in an enclosed space where it is not possible to fit a full body harness on an injured person. The improvised harness must only be used as a means of extricating an injured person from an enclosed space horizontally. An improvised harness must never be used for lifting or lowering an injured person 5) Demonstrate how to assess and determine the suitable attachment point on the injured person and/or transfer board/rescue stretcher, i.e. harness front or back attachment point and in the top or bottom of the transfer board/rescue stretcher 6) Demonstrate how to perform the rescue operation from the incident scene fully aware of where the injured person is stuck and how to slowly lower/raise the injured person and carefully manipulate him out, constantly evaluating the rescue efforts 7) Demonstrate how to package an injured person on a rescue stretcher and transfer board in a vertical or horizontal configuration to enable safe transportation, by doing regular checks, using rescue equipment such as cervical collar and avoiding head down configuration of the unconscious injured person 8) Demonstrate how to manually transport an injured person on a rescue stretcher or transfer board - in a balanced way 9) Demonstrate how to change directly from balancing an injured person from a horizontal position to a vertical configuration (and vice versa), in a WTG, when suspended 10) Demonstrate how to perform rescue operations, in the nacelle, tower and basement, using safe and suitable (certified or structural) anchor points, lifting angles, deviation, and edge protection for the rescue equipment 11) Demonstrate how to perform rescue operations, in a WTG, using the casualties personal fall protection on the injured person - as fall protection backup, if required
