f.
interfering wind speed and wind directions
g.
temperatures and wind chill factors
Explain how to mitigate transition piece size and configuration; nacelle position to the wind; evacuation hatch location; interfering wind speeds and wind directions and bringing down an injured person via an outside evacuation:
a. from a hub/nacelle to a transition piece by means of a passive rescue device setup and (if beneficial) tagline
b. from a transition piece to a vessel by means of an active or passive rescue device setup and (if beneficial) tagline
Explain the challenges, methods, and techniques of evacuating an injured person from a transition piece to a vessel highlighting:
a. the pros and cons passive or active rescue device setup
b.
communication with vessel crew
c. procedures and techniques on how to put down the injured person cautiously on a vessel moving up/down in the swell
Demonstrate proper use of a specific rescue device
Demonstrate how to attach and rig the rescue device in passive setup and how to secure the rope
Explain the requirements, applications, and limitations of the device
Explain the common additional rope's length compared to the specific WTG height
Explain the potential consequence of a passive and an active setup rescue device, slowing down or being blocked by the weight of a loose hanging / unsupported length of the unloaded rope’s end
Explain the pros and cons of using (for an outside evacuation) different rescue stretcher types. For example, comparing rescue stretchers with lifting bridles with a rescue stretcher/transfer board without lifting bridles versus no rescue stretcher/transfer board Explain and demonstrate how to attach and rig the rescue device in a passive and active setup respectively and how to utilise a fall restraint lanyard in the setup to balance the injured person in a perfect horizontal configuration, if required and possible Explain how to load the injured person out of the WTG preferably feet first to avoid neck/head injury of the injured person due to hatchway opening contact, or load the injured person out of the WTG head first if this risk cannot be mitigated
