2020-10-01_TS_ART_V02.1
b. Allow room for the rescuer to manoeuvre between the injured person and the rescue device Explain the potential issue of insufficient lifting height for entering the nacelle when the injured person is suspended in a bridle setup that is too long Demonstrate how the rescuer can apply fall protection by being attached to the rescue device (detached from the vertical fall arrest system) if the manufacturer’s specifications allow Stress the generic approach to teaching the use of rescue equipment in this lesson focusing on the similarities and differences in design, functionality, and operation between different products Explain the potential task placed upon the course participants in their own organisations on course completion, requiring them to familiarise themselves with other rescue equipment products
Course participants shall, in a team:
Explain how to identify and control the specific hazards/risks in the WTG during the rescue up operation, covering the following: a. Hazardous energy sources (mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pressurized systems - i.e. LOTO) b. Enclosed space areas c. Poor lighting conditions d. Dropped objects e. Poor manual handling f. Temperature/Working conditions (dehydration, heat stroke, exhaustion) g. Injured person suspension trauma (repetition from GWO WAH put into an advanced rescue context) h. Slips and trips i. If inside tower evacuation, determine rescuer fall protection (vertical fall arrest system or rescue device – if manufacturer’s specifications allow) Explain how to assess and determine the most optimum rescue strategy (relevant rescue method, technique, certified equipment, and required personnel) for a rescue up scenario Demonstrate how to prepare the injured person (live injured person preferred) for safe transportation (i.e. apply rescue head support, fit harness and other PPE, and package him on a rescue stretcher or transfer board, respectively) Demonstrate how to balance an injured person (dummy) from a horizontal to a vertical position (and vice versa), in order to move the injured person downwards through hatches, or similar Demonstrate how to select and utilize Certified and structural anchor points Demonstrate how to apply the theory of Lifting angle, angle factor, deviation and edge protection.
