GWO ADVANCED RESCUE TRAINING STANDARD V02.1 – NACELLE, TOWER & BASEMENT RESCUE

2020-10-01_TS_ART_V02.1

Demonstrate how to perform an evacuation (dummy), with the rescue device in a passive setup for evacuation outside of the tower, from the WTG nacelle to a primary assembly area (ground or transition piece) Demonstrate how to perform an evacuation (dummy), with the rescue device in an active setup for evacuation inside the tower, from the WTG nacelle to a primary assembly area (ground or transition piece), i.e. the rescuer controlling the descent located below the injured person, carrying the rope bag with him Demonstrate how to perform an evacuation (dummy) from a transition piece to a secondary assembly area (vessel), by transitioning the rescue device setup configuration from an active setup (descent inside tower to transition piece) to a passive setup for descent from the transition piece to the vessel, by: a. Pulling the rope’s end from the rope bag through the device and attaching it to the injured persons harness (enabling a reverse passive setup) and, b. Attaching the rescue device on the transition piece ensuring it is within reach and can be controlled without the risk of a fall from height and deviating the configuration over the transition piece crane boom (or similar) by the use of a pulley Demonstrate how to reduce the risks associated with manual handling and apply further control measures where applicable

RESCUE FROM ENCLOSED SPACE

110 min. There are several locations on the turbine were occasionally work needs to take place with reduced horizontal and vertical space. Such as in the basement/transition piece, yaw section, transformer room or between canopy and generator of a direct drive WTG. 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 2) Explain how to assess and determine rescue strategy (relevant rescue method, technique, certified equipment, and required personnel) in an enclosed space scenario 3) Explain and demonstrate the identification and suitable selection of certified and structural anchor points, for relevant enclosed space scenarios 4) Explain and demonstrate how to apply the concept of lifting angle, angle factor and deviation 5) Explain how to identify and control common risks of hazardous energies and common hazards of enclosed space areas in a WTG, when performing rescue operations
