b.

c.
poor lighting conditions
d.
dropped objects
e.
poor manual handling
f. temperature/ working conditions (dehydration, heat stroke, exhaustion)
g. injured person suspension trauma (repetition from GWO BST WAH put into an advanced rescue context)

Explain how to assess and determine evacuation strategy (relevant rescue method, route technique, certified equipment, and required personnel) for a rescue scenario in a WTG
Practise how to prepare the injured person (live injured person preferred) for safe transportation (e.g. apply rescue head support, fit harness and other PPE, and package them on a rescue stretcher or transfer board)

Practise how to balance an injured person (dummy) from a horizontal to a vertical position (and vice versa) in order to move the injured person downwards through hatches or similar.
Practise how to select and utilise certified and structural anchor points
Practise how to apply the theory of lifting angle, angle factor, deviation, and edge protection
Practise how to rig and operate the lowering/raising rescue system in a proper manner aiming to achieve a safe and efficient rigging setup, including the utilisation of an injured person’s personal fall protection equipment without compromising additional fall protection
Practise how to apply rescue methods, techniques and clear, precise communication when performing safe ascending/descending rescue operations from a WTG
