To implement GWO ART, the employer will need to have the following:
1) An integrated emergency response plan 2) Sufficiently trained personnel 3) Dedicated advanced rescue equipment
3. SUFFICIENTLY TRAINED PERSONNEL GWO recommends that decisions concerning the ratio of AR trained personnel is based on the employer’s risk assessment and work specific characteristics.
The basic elements to consider when determining the ratio of AR trained personnel are:
1) The activities being undertaken (risk & complexity), e.g. service or construction tasks, or special projects 2) Organizational limitations to ensure that the required AR trained personnel are available. Such as variations in the team’s composition and size. 3) The reasonably expected support of professional emergency responders, including availability of personnel trained for heights and their reasonable expected response time. The guiding principle when determining the required amount of trained staff, is that the emergency response time of a trained Emergency responder should be as small as is reasonable possible. In other words, if training additional employees in advanced rescue provides a significant reduction in response time, then GWO advices to train those additional employees. Personnel must meet the prerequisites of GWO Advanced Rescue Training as stated in GWO Advanced Rescue Training Standards. 4. ADVANCED RESCUE EQUIPMENT Suitable equipment for rescue purpose ensures successful rescue operations as much as personnel with the right competencies, thus in addition to equipment specified in GWO Basic Safety Training Standard, GWO recommends ensuring the availability of the below equipment for advanced rescuers executing advanced rescue operations: 1) Rescue stretcher and/or transfer board, suitable to manoeuvre within the turbine 2) Cervical collar 3) Manually operated lowering/raising rescue systems for limited distance rescue 4) Rescue device and/or pulley system with rope grab
