GWO Advanced Rescue Training Standard / V4 2023-05-02
4. SCOPE Global Wind Organisation is a non-profit body founded by the wind turbine manufacturers and owners. Our members strive for an injury free work environment in the wind turbine industry, setting common international standards for safety training and emergency procedures. This standard describes the requirements for advanced rescue training courses that are recommended by the members of GWO. The full standard comprises of four modules:
1.
Hub, Spinner and Inside Blade Rescue (HSIBR)
2.
Nacelle, Tower and Basement Rescue (NTBR)
3.
Single Rescuer: Hub, Spinner and Inside Blade Rescue (SR:HSIBR)
4.
Single Rescuer: Nacelle, Tower and Basement Rescue (SR:NTBR)
This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable advanced rescue training in the industry and has been prepared in co-operation between the members of GWO based on risk assessments and factual incident and accident statistics from G+ and the wind industry. GWO members agree that everyone working on one of their properties (wind turbine generators, sub stations, etc.) shall complete advanced rescue training courses relevant for their assignments. All work shall be done in teams of at least two competent persons. Exemptions from the above can be made based on internal company rules. General feedback on this document can be sent to info@globalwindsafety.org See globalwindsafety.org on how to raise a complaint about a training provider or report a safety incident occurring during training. 5. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ADVANCED RESCUE TRAINING Upon completion of the Advance Rescue Training Standard, participants will be able to access and rescue an injured person from the hub and the nacelle, tower, and basement section of a wind turbine. These training modules can be delivered independently of one another or as stand-alone training. 5.1 Overview The GWO Advanced Rescue Training is divided into the following four modules:
