Discuss the generic approach to teaching the use of rescue equipment in this lesson focusing on the similarities and differences in design, functionality and operation between different products and associated accessories
Discuss the potential task placed upon the participants (on course completion) requiring them to familiarise themselves with other rescue equipment products in their own organisations
HSIBR EXERCISE 1 & 2 (FROM BLADE)
110 min.
There are several locations on the turbine with reduced horizontal and vertical space where occasionally work needs to take place, for example a hub, spinner, or blade.
The aim of this lesson is to enable the participants to perform a rescue of an injured person, from a WTG blade and out of the hub to a safe place.
After having successfully completed this lesson, the participants can:
42) Take initiative to understand common hazards/risks and control measures/risk mitigation in a WTG (Ability, intermediate level)
43) Manage a rescue operation, using the correct techniques to fit a harness or improvised harness by the use of a rescue sling around the injured person's chest, and other PPE (e.g. helmet, safety glasses) onto an injured person, in an enclosed space in a WTG (Ability, advanced level)
The use of a rescue sling as an improvised harness is only to be used in an enclosed space where it is not possible to fit a full body harness on an injured person.
Note
The improvised harness must only be used as a means of extracting an injured person from an enclosed space horizontally.
An improvised harness must never be used for lifting or lowering an injured person.
44) Act independently to utilise a manually operated lowering/raising rescue system whilst adhering to the manufacturer's user manual (Ability, intermediate level)
45) Manage an exercise rescue using an injured person’s personal fall protection equipment without compromising additional fall protection and show how to balance an injured person from a horizontal to a vertical configuration (and vice versa) (Ability, advanced level)
46) Act independently to act as the informal rescue team coordinator performing scene assessment and hazard identification, assessing, and determining the rescue strategy (Ability, intermediate level)
47) Take initiative to ensure clear and precise communication in a stressful rescue operation, both with members of the rescue team as a team coordinator and as a team member (Ability, intermediate level)
