GWO Advance Rescue Refresher Training / V4 2023-05-02
related to the modules they instruct. The instructor shall physically visit the tower, nacelle, and hub of WTGs 6. able to apply knowledge and practical skills in alternative rescue methods, techniques and rigging setups compared to those executed by the participants during the practical exercises of the ART Modules 7. able to analyse and justify the ART rescue equipment used, uses and limitations of this equipment included. All instructors shall possess the appropriate competencies to conduct/ assist the elements of training they have been assigned to. 6.2 Practical Training Facilities All facilities shall be maintained and where appropriate, inspected and tested in accordance with current national legislation and manufacturers’ recommendations. Risk assessments shall be conducted and documented for all training facilities. The training provider shall hold the required permits to operate the facilities. The learning process is facilitated by identical or comparable elements comparing the training environment and the participants’ working environment. Identical or comparable elements enhances the application of what is learned. The practical training facilities and the training environment are therefore expected to incorporate as many identical or comparable elements to a real wind turbine working environment as possible. The objective is that the practical training facility should enable each participant to individually and/or as part of a team, see, hear, and practise the taught subject matter in such a way, that it resembles the working practices in a real wind turbine environment. The following training facility items will be required for the ART training: 1. mock-up for the ‘rescue up’ exercises, to simulate basement/tower rescue 2. mock-up to simulate under the gearbox with a max. 0.60m diameter access crawl way into the crawl space, a height between 0.60m and 0.30m and minimum 2.00m length (Basement/Tower/Nacelle Module) 3. mock-up to simulate the nacelle: a. figure 6.2.1 provides dimensions to the GWO recommended nacelle mock-up b. the training provider can deviate from the recommended nacelle measures to facilitate a specific turbine design c. the nacelle mock-up must be filled with sufficient simulated assets, to create a realistic nacelle environment
