Practise how to apply the theory of lifting angle, angle factor, deviation, and edge protection
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 how to apply rescue methods, techniques, and clear and precise communication in performing safe ascending/descending rescue operations from a WTG
Practise how to perform regular checks of the injured person during the entire rescue operation
Practise how to perform an inside evacuation, with the rescue device in an active setup, from the nacelle to a primary assembly area (ground or transition piece). In this scenario the rescuer controlling the descent should be located below the injured person Practise how to reduce the risks associated with manual handling and apply further control measures where applicable Practise how to apply clear communication and guidance to other emergency responders (e.g. vessel crew or ambulance crew) including coordinating the handover of an injured person.
RESCUE FROM ENCLOSED SPACE
50 min.
There are several locations in the nacelle where occasionally work needs to take place with reduced horizontal and vertical space. Such as the yaw section, transformer room or between canopy and generator of a direct drive WTG. The aim of this lesson is for the participants (as single rescuers) to be able to apply various techniques to evacuate an injured person from an area with restricted manoeuvrability, filled with sufficient simulated assets, to a location where first aid can be administered.
After having successfully completed this module, participants can:
18) Take responsibility to apply the techniques to successfully rescue the injured person from the enclosed space, in a controlled manner (Ability, intermediate level) 19) Show interest in how to assess and determine rescue strategy (relevant rescue method, technique, certified equipment, and required personnel) in an enclosed space scenario (Ability, basic level)
