GWO Advanced Rescue Training Standard / V4 2023-05-02
Practise how to perform an evacuation (dummy) from a transition piece to a secondary assembly area (vessel), by transitioning the rescue device setup configuration from an active setup (descent inside tower to transition piece) to a passive setup for descent from the transition piece to the vessel, by: a. pulling the rope’s end from the rope bag through the device and attaching it to the injured person’s harness (enabling a reverse passive setup) and b. attaching the rescue device on the transition piece ensuring it is within reach and can be controlled (by the use of a pulley) without the risk of a fall from height and deviating the configuration over the transition piece crane boom (or similar) Practise how to reduce the risks associated with manual handling and apply further control measures where applicable
RESCUE FROM ENCLOSED SPACE
110 min.
There are several locations on the turbine were occasionally work needs to take place with reduced horizontal and vertical space, such as in the basement/transition piece, yaw section, transformer room or between canopy and generator of a direct drive WTG. The aim of this lesson is for the participants 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 lesson, the participants can:
59) Act independently to assess and determine rescue strategy in an enclosed space scenario and demonstrate the identification and suitable selection of certified and structural anchor points, for relevant enclosed space scenarios (Ability, intermediate level) 60) Take initiative to demonstrate how to apply the concept of lifting angle, angle factor and deviation (Ability, intermediate level) 61) Act independently to identify and control common risks of hazardous energies and common hazards of enclosed space areas in a WTG, when performing rescue operations (Ability, intermediate level) 62) Take responsibility to assess and determine the suitable attachment point on the injured person and/or transfer board/rescue stretcher (Ability, intermediate level)
