a. from a nacelle to a transition piece by means of a passive rescue device setup, and tagline (if beneficial)
b. from a transition piece to a vessel by means of an active or passive rescue device setup, and tagline (if beneficial)
Explain the challenges, methods, and techniques of evacuating an injured person from a transition piece to a vessel highlighting pros and cons of the following:
a.
passive or active rescue device setup
b.
communication with vessel crew
c. procedures and techniques on how to put down the injured person cautiously on a vessel moving up/down in the swell
Demonstrate proper use of a specific rescue device
Demonstrate how to attach and rig the rescue device in passive setup and how to secure the rope
Explain the requirements, applications, and limitations of the device
Explain the common additional rope's length compared to the specific WTG height
Explain the potential consequence of an active setup rescue device slowing down or being blocked by the weight of a loose hanging / unsupported length of the unloaded rope’s end
Explain and demonstrate the above mentioned based on the manufacturer's user manual.
Note
Explain pros and cons of utilising a rescue stretcher type with lifting bridles; versus a rescue stretcher/transfer board type without lifting bridles; versus no rescue stretcher/transfer board, for an outside evacuation Explain and demonstrate how to attach and rig the rescue device in a passive and active setup, respectively, and how to utilise a fall restraint lanyard onto the setup to balance the injured person in a perfect horizontal configuration, if required and possible Explain how to load the injured person out of the WTG, preferably feet first, attending to avoid neck/head injury of the injured person due to hatchway opening contact or load the injured person out of the WTG headfirst, if this risk cannot be mitigated Explain how to cautiously manipulate, and balance/let go of, the injured person out of the WTG when suspended by utilising a tagline; while at the same time aiming to avoid a head down configuration of the unconscious injured person so preventing stomach content release
Stress the generic approach to teaching the use of rescue equipment in this lesson focusing on similarities and differences in design, functionality, and operation between different products
