Technical training

Service Lift Training Standard / V4

Commissioning

Commissioning is a combination of bringing new equipment into working condition and its validation based on the first-time inspection after installation and after major component replacement (when relevant legislation indicates). Commission is typically done in accordance with a manufacturer’s commissioning list A diverter is a component used to divert or change the direction of the load being lifted or moved. It guides the cable in a different direction from the main lifting movement

Diverter

Different lift types

Different lift types include wire guided and ladder guided lifts; and wire driven and rack and pinion driven lifts

Emergency state override function

A "shielded bypass function" is found in some lifts. This can be used in certain situations (outside normal operation parameters) to permit specific lift operating characteristics. This function must only to be used in specific cases defined in the lift’s user manual. Examples could be: 1) after having performed overspeed test, 2) start service lift with bottom limit activated 3) re-start after an obstruction of the lift path occurs

Examples of fall arrest devices in a lift includes safety brake systems, safety catch device, and secondary brake

Fall arrest device

Flawless

In the context of technical components, "flawless" implies that the component is free from any defects or imperfections, including physical damage like scratches. Even a minor scratch could potentially affect the component's performance, durability, or integrity, thus disqualifying it from flawless Human factors are an established science that uses many disciplines (like anatomy, physiology, physics, and biomechanics) to understand how people perform under different circumstances and environments

Human factors

Illustrations are provided for basic understanding and can differ from the actual lift model

Illustrations

Inspection

Inspection covers physical and visual inspection of functions, components and installations. For this standard inspection includes a responsibility to also adjust, repair, and replace minor components that do not need certified technical competences, e.g. light bulbs, labels and stickers, and adjustment and replacing limit switches

Installation

Assembling the lift in the WTG

Also named: ¨’control panel’ and ‘manoeuvre panel’ The panel from where all operations of the lift can be executed

Global Wind Organisation is a non-profit body founded by the wind turbine manufacturers and owners. Our members strive for an injury free work environment in the wind turbine industry, setting common international standards for safety training and emergency procedures.

This standard describes the requirements for lift training courses that are recommended by the members of GWO. This standard comprises of three modules:

Service Lift User Module (SLU)

Pre-use inspection

Operation of the lift

Evacuation from the lift

Service Lift Inspection and Maintenance Module (SLIM)

a. Initial inspections for the purpose of commissioning, including testing

General required inspections

Inspections after replacement of main components

d. Maintenance in accordance with local legislation, manuals and WTG owners’ and operators’ requirements

Trace and correct faults

Service Lift Installation, Inspection and Repair Module (SLIIR)

Installation

Repair major components

Trouble shooting/Trace and correct faults

The members of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) recognise trained persons as competent within use, inspection, installation and maintenance of lifts in the wind industry and accept the trained person as possessing the required abilities to use, commission, inspect, install, maintain, and evacuate a lift where they as duty holders are accountable for safety.

12 / 166

Technical training

Service Lift Training Standard / V4

This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable lift training in the industry and has been prepared in co-operation between the members of GWO based on risk assessments and factual incident and accident statistics from G+ and the wind industry.

General feedback on this document can be sent to info@globalwindsafety.org. See globalwindsafety.org on how to raise a complaint about a training provider or report a safety incident occurring.

5. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SERVICE LIFT TRAINING Upon completion of the GWO Service Lift User Module training (SLU), participants will be aware of the risks and hazards encountered in the use of lifts within the wind industry. Furthermore, they will be able to control and mitigate those risks and hazards. The GWO Service Lift User Module training will also equip participants with the ability to take responsibility and appropriately respond in the event of a hazardous situation and to increase their safety through proper use of personal protective equipment, emergency equipment, procedures, and safe craftsmanship. Upon completion of the GWO Service Lift Inspection and Maintenance Module training (SLIM), participants will be aware of the risks and hazards encountered when inspecting and maintaining lifts within the wind industry. Furthermore, they will be able to control and mitigate those risks and hazards. The GWO Service Lift Inspection and Maintenance Module training will also equip participants with the ability to take responsibility and appropriately respond in the event of a hazardous situation and to increase their safety through proper use of personal protective equipment, emergency equipment, procedures, and safe craftsmanship. Upon completion of the GWO Service Lift Installation, Inspection and Repair Module (SLIIR), participants will be aware of the risks and hazards encountered when doing commissioning, inspection, installation, and maintenance of lifts within the wind industry. Furthermore, they will be able to control and mitigate those risks and hazards. The GWO Service Lift Installation, Inspection and Repair Module training will also equip participants with the ability to take responsibility and appropriately respond in the event of a hazardous situation and to increase their safety through proper use of personal protective equipment, emergency equipment, procedures, and safe craftsmanship. 5.1 Overview The Service Lift Training Standard’s modules are a mix of theoretical and practical elements focusing on developing the needed knowledge, skills, and abilities for a wind employee to use, operate, inspect, maintain, install, repair, and evacuate a lift in a WTG. The GWO Service Lift Training Standard takes a generic approach to the variability of different lift types and systems. Taking the initiative and following additional relevant guidance, such as given in manuals, is a implicit part of the learning objectives of this standard.

Furthermore, induction and familiarisation with local relevant lift equipment may be required by the operator and local legislation.

13 / 166

Technical training

Service Lift Training Standard / V4

5.2 Target Group The target group for the Service Lift User Module training is personnel working on WTGs within the wind industry where the use of lifts is required for transportation of personnel and equipment inside the WTG. The target group for the Service Lift Inspection and Maintenance Module training is personnel working on WTGs within the wind industry who inspect the functioning of lifts. These inspections cover both initial inspections for the purpose of commissioning the lift, general required inspections, and inspections after replacement of main components.

Maintenance and subsequent inspection personnel choices must be aligned with any need for independence included in relevant, local legislation

Note

The target group for the Service Lift Installation, Inspection and Repair Module training is personnel working on WTGs within the wind industry by installing, inspecting, maintaining, commissioning, and repairing lifts in a WTG. 5.3 Validity Period The Service Lift Training Standard modules are enduring qualifications and therefore a validity period does not apply to these trainings. This assumes that the participant is actively working with the use, inspection, installation, and maintenance respectively of lifts.

5.4 Aims and Objectives

Training in accordance with this standard is aiming at ensuring the safety of personnel and the safe use of the equipment.

The Service Lift User Module is aimed at the safe and correct use of a lift within a WTG.

The Service Lift Inspection and Maintenance Module is aimed at ensuring the readiness of a lift in a WTG. This is achieved by; first, inspecting and maintaining the lift plant by initial inspections for the purpose of commissioning the lift; secondly, required general inspections; and finally, inspections after replacement of main components. Content and learning objectives from the Service Lift Inspection and Maintenance Module are also included in the Service Lift Installation, Inspection and Repair Module curriculum.

The Service Lift Installation, Inspection and Repair Module is aimed at performing installation and repair, commissioning, inspection, and maintenance work on a lift in a WTG.

These aims are fulfilled when the participants possess the required knowledge, skills, and abilities to conduct assigned tasks and operations in a lift safely and efficiently.

To achieve the aims and objectives of the modules it is imperative for the manuals and guides to be at hand, and used, at all times.

5.7 Participant Prerequisites

All personnel participating must meet the participant prerequisites described in the GWO Requirements for Training.

The GWO Service Lift User training (or similar lift user training) is a prerequisite for attending the Service Lift Inspection and Maintenance Module and the Service Lift Installation, Inspection, and Repair Module.

5.8 Instructor Qualification Prerequisites

A competent GWO Service Lift Training Standard instructor must adhere to the instructor requirements for GWO training.

6. USING THIS STANDARD TO DEVELOP TRAINING The training in this standard is designed around the GWO taxonomy described in the GWO Requirements for Training. Theoretical and practical activities must be delivered according to the defined taxonomic level in order to reach the described learning objectives. When teaching about equipment, a generic approach shall be applied aiming to minimise additional, potential, product-specific, formal training after completion of this training. However, national or regional legislation, company gap analysis, location specific risk assessments, and the specific lift type may require additional product specific familiarisation which is the responsibility of the duty holder.

In addition to this, all training based on this standard (including all related resources) shall, as a minimum, meet the requirements described in the GWO Requirements for Training.

When this standard refers to manuals, it is the manual for the training equipment at hand. Further guidelines and checklists and other work documents must be based on the manuals.

6.1 Formative Post-lesson Evaluations

The participants must conduct an individual theory questionnaire on each lesson, where this is indicated in the relevant element in Module 2 (SLIM) and Module 3 (SLIIR).

The questionnaires serves as first; a recap for the participants on the theoretical topics of the lessons, and secondly; a tool for the instructors to evaluate the participants’ ongoing theoretical learning outcome and understanding. Questions must be aimed at the lessons’ content and be posed at the relevant taxonomic level for the learning objectives. They should also challenge the participants according to their professional experience level.

The theory questionnaire can consist of multiple-choice or descriptive/answer questions, depending on the complexity of the taxonomy level of the learning objectives concerned.

The questionnaires must be conducted in accordance with the following criteria:

There shall be at least one question for each element in the lesson

16 / 166

Technical training

Service Lift Training Standard / V4

The questionnaires must be done individually

3. There shall be an average time limit of maximum 30 seconds per question. This provides time for the participants to answer more complex questions when other questions call for more simple solutions

Participants may use:

Training material

Handouts

Own notes

Manuals & guides

5. Lessons with only a few elements each, may be bundled together into a single questionnaire

6. Where a participant does not understand the meaning of a question or a multiple-choice option, the instructor must facilitate the participant to understand the meaning of the question or the multiple- choice options The instructor must share the correct answers at the end of the questionnaire to allow the participants to check and evaluate their answers. To enhance learning, it is recommended to have peer participants evaluate each other’s answers
