EVACUATION OF AN INJURED PERSON FROM THE NACELLE TO
THE BASE OF THE TOWER
130 min.
The aim of this lesson is to enable the participants to evacuate an injured person in a safe and secure manner from the hub or nacelle, inside and outside the tower, to a primary assembly area (ground or transition piece) and from transition piece to a secondary assembly area (vessel).
After having successfully completed this lesson, the participants can:
49) Take initiative and responsibility to assess and determine evacuation strategy during a rescue operation, attending to a clear and preferred evacuation route for the injured person outside or inside the tower (Ability, intermediate level)
50) Act independently in identifying a suitable selection of certified and structural anchor points, relevant for various rescue scenarios, relevant for various rescue scenarios (Ability, intermediate level)
51) Take responsibility to apply the concept of lifting angle, angle factor and deviation (Ability, intermediate level)
52) Act independently to control common risks of hazardous energies and common hazards of enclosed space areas in a WTG, when performing rescue operations (Ability, intermediate level)
53) Take responsibility to apply rescue methods and techniques in performing descending rescue operations, from a WTG to a primary assembly area (ground or transition piece) and a secondary assembly area (vessel), using a rescue stretcher and transfer board, lowering/raising rescue system (rescue device, pulley system or similar) (Ability, intermediate level) 54) Take initiative for transitioning from an active to a passive rescue device setup configuration without detaching the active setup’s loaded rope’s end from its original anchor point (Ability, intermediate level) This includes:
a. attaching the passive setup rescue device within reach
b. deviating the configuration over the transition piece crane boom (or similar)
c. securing the rope by securing the hand wheel or locking mechanism
d. controlling the descent using the rescue device’s friction component or by applying a deflection connector
55) Act independently to fit a harness or improvised harness to be used as a rescue sling around the injured person's chest, and fit other relevant PPE (e.g. helmet, safety glasses) onto an injured person in an enclosed space (Ability, intermediate 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
