Safety training
GWO Advanced Rescue Training Standard / V5 02052025
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 practices 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
a. figure 6-2.2 provides dimensions to the GWO recommended nacelle mock-up
b. the training provider can deviate from the recommended nacelle measures to facilitate a specific turbine design
c. the nacelle mock-up must be filled with sufficient simulated assets, to create a realistic nacelle environment
d. the maximum available contiguous floor space must be less than 3.0m 2 , excluding walkways of less than 0.6m width
e. the sides of the nacelle should be designed in such a way as to prevent direct visual contact from within the nacelle to the teams outside of the nacelle
f. structural and certified anchor points (both modules)
It is recommended to connect the various mock-ups to recreate a realistic sequence. For example, connecting the nacelle mock-up with the hub mock-up. Rather than connecting a blade mock-up with the nacelle mock-up. This would provide a more realistic scenario. However, if there are practical reasons to separate the individual mock- ups, then this is allowed. For example, to allow different teams to train at the same time.
