Description of changes
Module 1, First Aid reviewed, including updated duration of total contact time from 13 hours to 4 hours
Substantial Changes to the Module:
The module is decreased from 7 lessons to 5 lessons.
The total contact time of the module is decreased from 13 hours and 20 to 7 hours.
Lesson 2 is updated according to a training needs analysis done by the GWO review working group of what a wind turbine technician needs to be able to do as a basic first aider. Therefore, lesson 2 is aimed at enabling the participants to recognise signs and symptoms of life threating situations and save lives and prevent injury to the casualty by being able to use Primary Survey to provide the correct and effective lifesaving first aid in case of an emergency situation in the wind industry. Lesson 3 is updated according to a review of general injury and illness statistics from the GWO members, which led to a focus on how to do a head-to-toe examination and the listed relevant incidents in lesson 3:
4) Burns
5) Chemical contacts to the eye
6) Medical emergency situations: Heart attack & Stroke
7) Hypothermia
8) Fractures
Lesson 4 is updated with a new split between mandatory and additional scenarios, which can be combined at will during the scenario-based training as long as all the mandatory scenarios are covered. The mandatory scenarios are:
1) One electrical incident
2) One incident with either a stroke (circulatory, respiratory, central nervous system) or a heart attack
3) two scenarios must include a “head-to-toe” examination of the casualty
4) CPR using an AED
