GWO ADVANCED RESCUE TRAINING STANDARD V02.1 – NACELLE, TOWER & BASEMENT RESCUE
2020-10-01_TS_ART_V02.1
The lesson is also relevant for structures with a considerable basement structure and transition piece. Standard evacuation equipment and techniques might not always be suitable for excessive distances rescue up from inside these locations. The aim is to enable the course participants to bring their injured person from a lower platform to the higher platform, outside and inside the tower, by the use of a power-driven lowering/raising rescue system.
To successfully complete this lesson of the module, participants shall be able to:
1) Explain how to assess and determine evacuation strategy during a rescue operation, attending to a clear and preferred evacuation route for the injured person outside or inside the tower, including a high awareness on the risk of the injured person getting stuck in the WTG (e.g. under a tower-tower sections). (L2 – Knowledge) 2) Demonstrate how to perform a pre-use inspection of a random power-driven lowering / raising rescue system. (L3 – Skill) 3) Explain and demonstrate the identification and suitable selection of certified and structural anchor points, relevant for various rescue scenarios, relevant for various rescue scenarios. (L3 – Skill) 4) Explain and demonstrate the proper utilization of a specific power-driven lowering/raising rescue system, incl. how to properly attach, rig and secure the system, and requirements, applications, limitations, means of tethering and the maximum raising distance possible for the system and associated battery power source. (L3 – Skill) 5) Explain and demonstrate how to apply the concept of lifting angle, angle factor and deviation. (L3 – Skill) 6) Explain national and local regional requirements and/or procedures for helicopter rescue in an onshore/offshore WTG, preparing the injured person, preparing the WTG, the helicopter hoisting platform, safe zones and safe behaviour included. (L2 – Knowledge) 7) 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. (L2 – Knowledge) 8) Demonstrate how to apply rescue methods and techniques in performing rescue up operations in a WTG from basement to primary assembly area (ground/transition piece), from transition piece inside tower to nacelle/Heli platform and from transition piece outside tower to nacelle/Heli platform, using a rescue stretcher and/or transfer board, raising rescue system (power driven rescue system). (L3 – Skill) 9) Demonstrate how to change directly from balancing an injured person from a horizontal position to a vertical configuration (and vice versa), when suspended. (L3 – Skill) 10) Demonstrate how to perform rescue operations, using the casualties personal fall protection on the injured person - as fall protection backup, if required. (L3 – Skill) 11) Demonstrate how to act as the informal rescue team coordinator performing scene assessment and hazard identification, assessing and determining the rescue strategy. (L3 – Skill)
