e. participants’ manual handling risk mitigation and application of further control measures
Guide and support the participants when applying:
a.
power driven raising rescue systems
b.
additional fall protection of injured person
Demonstrate how to use a bridle setup using one anchor sling attached to the front and back attachment points of the injured persons harness, to:
a. ensure the injured person is suspended as close to vertical as possible
b. allow room for the rescuer to manoeuvre between the injured person and the rescue device
Explain the potential issue of insufficient lifting height for entering the nacelle when the injured person is suspended in a bridle setup that is too long Demonstrate how the rescuer can apply fall protection by being attached to the rescue device (detached from the vertical fall arrest system) if the manufacturer’s user manual allow Stress 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 Explain the potential task placed upon the participants (on course completion) requiring them to familiarise themselves with other rescue equipment products in their own organisations Provide constructive feedback on the participants’ efforts during the exercise with focus on their ability to perform correctly, safely, and responsibly
The participants shall:
In a team, explain how to identify and control the specific hazards/risks in the WTG during the rescue up operation, covering the following:
a. hazardous energy sources (mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pressurised systems i.e. LOTO)
b.
enclosed space areas
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 WAH put into an advanced rescue context)
