GWO Advanced Rescue Training Standard / V5 02052025
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 user manual 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 participants (on course completion) requiring them to familiarise themselves with other rescue equipment products in their own organisations
Provide constructive feedback on the participants’ efforts during the exercise with focus on their ability to perform correctly, safely, and responsibly
The 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, pressurised systems e.g. 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 user manual allow)
j. participants shall participate in the practical exercises as presented by the instructor
