HUB RESCUE EXERCISE 1 & 2 (FROM BLADE)

100 min. There are several locations on the turbine were occasionally work needs to take place with reduced horizontal and vertical space. Such as in a hub, spinner or blade. The aim of this lesson is to enable the course participants to perform injured person rescue operations, in a WTG blade and out of the hub.

To successfully complete this lesson of the module, course participants must be able to:

1) Explain common hazards/risks and control measures/risk mitigation in a WTG 2) Demonstrate how to apply rescue methods and techniques in performing lowering/raising rescue operations, in a WTG blade 3) Demonstrate how to perform rescue operations in a WTG blade using a headtorch, if required due to poor lighting conditions 4) Demonstrate how to prepare, fit and check rescue head support and fit PPE helmet and safety glasses on the unconscious injured person 5) 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. helmet, safety glasses) onto an injured person, in an enclosed space in a WTG 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.

6) 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
