GWO Advance Rescue Refresher Training / V4 2023-05-02
There are several locations on the turbine were occasionally work needs to take place with reduced horizontal and vertical space. Such as in the basement/transition piece, yaw section, transformer room or between canopy and generator of a direct drive WTG. The aim of this lesson is for the participants to be able to apply various techniques to evacuate an injured person from an area with restricted manoeuvrability, filled with sufficient simulated assets, to a location where first aid can be administered. After having successfully completed this lesson, the participants can: 80) Take responsibility to apply the techniques necessary to successfully rescue the injured person from the enclosed space, in a controlled manner (Ability, intermediate level) 81) Show interest in how to assess and determine rescue strategy (relevant rescue method, technique, certified equipment, and required personnel) in an enclosed space scenario (Ability, basic level)
ELEMENT 10.1 - RESCUE FROM ENCLOSED SPACE – EXERCISES
Learning objectives: 82) The participants can perform how to apply rescue methods and techniques in descending and ascending rescue operations, from a WTG, using a rescue stretcher and transfer board, lowering/raising rescue system (rescue device, pulley system or similar) (Skills: intermediate level) 83) The participants can perform how to fit a harness or improvised harness by the use of a rescue sling around the injured person's chest, and other PPE (e.g. apply rescue head support, fit helmet, safety glasses etc.) onto an injured person, in an enclosed space (Skills, intermediate level) 84) The participants can explain the identification and suitable selection of certified and structural anchor points, for relevant enclosed space scenarios (Knowledge, intermediate level) 85) The participants can explain and perform the proper utilisation of a specific lowering/raising rescue system, incl. how to properly attach, rig and secure the system, and requirements, applications, limitations, and the maximum raising distance possible for the system (Skills, intermediate level) 86) The participants can explain how to apply the concept of lifting angle, angle factor and deviation (Knowledge, intermediate level) 87) The participants can explain how to identify and control common risks of hazardous energies and common hazards of enclosed space areas in a WTG, when performing rescue operations (Knowledge, intermediate level)
The use of a rescue sling as an improvised harness is only to be used in an enclosed space where it is not possible to fit a full body harness on an injured person.
