Provide constructive feedback on the participants’ performance during the practice
The participants shall:
During practical training exercises, apply principles of dropped object prevention including correct selection of tether and appropriate storage throughout the remainder of the course
On their own initiative, perform buddy checks in relation to safe tethering of additional equipment (e.g. tooling, mobile phones, radios) throughout the remainder of the course
Explain how to identify and control the specific hazards/risks in the WTG during the rescue operation, by covering the following:
a. hazardous energy sources (mechanical, electrical, 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 BST WAH put into an advanced rescue context)

Explain how to assess and determine the most optimum rescue strategy (relevant rescue method, technique, certified equipment) for a rescue scenario in a WTG blade
Practise how to prepare the injured person for safe transportation (e.g. apply rescue head support, fit harness and other PPE and package them on a rescue stretcher or transfer board)
Practise how to rig and operate the lowering/raising rescue system in a proper manner aiming to achieve a safe and efficient rigging setup, including the utilisation of an injured person’s personal fall protection equipment without compromising additional fall protection
Practise rescue methods, techniques, and clear communication in performing safe lowering/raising rescue operations from inside a WTG blade
