Safety training
GWO Advanced Rescue Training Standard / V4 2023-05-02
3.
qualified GWO BST Manual Handling instructor
4.
trained in GWO BST/BSTR First Aid
5. included in an on-going training program, which includes visits to onshore and/ or offshore WTGs (tower, nacelle, hub) prior to instructing GWO ART modules, to enable them to maintain and update skills related to the GWO modules they instruct. The instructor shall physically visit the tower, nacelle, and hub of WTGs. 6. able to apply knowledge and practical skills in alternative rescue methods, techniques, and rigging setups comparable to those executed by the participants during the practical exercises of the ART modules 7. able to analyse and justify the ART rescue equipment used, uses and limitations of this equipment included. 6.2 Practical Training Facilities All facilities shall be maintained and where appropriate, inspected and tested in accordance with current national legislation and manufacturers’ recommendations. Risk assessments shall be conducted and documented for all training facilities. The training provider shall hold the required permits to operate the facilities. The learning process is facilitated by identical or comparable elements comparing the training environment and the participants’ working environment. Identical or comparable elements enhances the application of what is learned. The practical training facilities and the training environment are therefore expected to incorporate as many identical or comparable elements to a real wind turbine working environment as possible. The objective is that the practical training facility should enable each participant to individually and/or as part of a team, see, hear, and practise the taught subject matter in such a way that it resembles the working practises in a real wind turbine environment.
The following training facility items will be required for the ART training:
1. Mock-up with enclosed space to simulate the hub, with a height differentiated crawl way
a. figure 6-2.1 provides dimensions to the GWO recommended hub mock-up
b. the training provider can deviate from the recommended hub measurements to facilitate a specific turbine design
2. A mock-up to simulate access between hub and blade with a maximum access hatch diameter of 0.6m
a. this diameter can be reduced to 0.50m to simulate a pitch cylinder partly blocking the hatch
3.
Mock-up for the “rescue up” exercises, to simulate basement/tower rescue
4. Mock-up to simulate under the gearbox with a max. 0.6m diameter access crawl way into the crawl space, a height between 0.6m and 0.3m and minimum 2.0m length (Nacelle, Tower and Basement Rescue Module)
5.
Mock-up to simulate the nacelle
