WHY CHOOSE THIS COURSE

Wind turbines are often located in remote areas, both offshore and onshore, far from medical facilities. As the time for professional emergency responders to arrive increases, wind turbine personnel need to be highly self-reliant in emergencies. This course ensures that teams are prepared to handle emergency situations, especially when professional help may struggle to reach the nacelle of modern, taller turbines.

This course is ideal for:

  • Wind turbine technicians
  • Offshore wind farm workers
  • Onshore wind farm workers
  • Team leaders in remote wind turbine sites
  • Safety officers in the wind energy sector
  • On successful completion of the training you will receive a Certificate of Attendance

Course Content

GWO Advanced Rescue Training supports the employer by mitigating numerous common wind turbine emergency rescue related hazards, included but not limited to:

  • Injured person getting stuck due to structure interference
  • Use of improper anchor point for injured person transportation
  • Ropes, slings and similar breaking due to sharp edges
  • Improper rescue method and technique
  • Physical shock, mental stress, exhaustion, fatigue; due to time-consuming rescue
  • Challenging weather conditions for rescue: wind speed, extreme temperatures and alike
  • Due to limited space, difficulties to put harness and other rescue equipment onto an injured person and prepare the injured person for safe transportation
  • Collision of injured person and vessel when delivering the injured person down to the vessel; due to vessel moving up and down
  • Burns from contact HV-cables or hyperthermia during rescue operation
  • Improper PPE of rescuer and/or placing improper PPE onto injured person
  • Improper means of communication during rescue operation
  • Improper positioning of turbine parts
  • Movable parts of the wind turbine not locked properly etc.

GWO recommends that decisions concerning the ratio of AR trained personnel is based on the employer’s risk assessment and work specific characteristics. The basic elements to consider when determining the ratio of AR trained personnel are:

  • The activities being undertaken (risk & complexity)
  • Organisational limitations to ensure that the required AR trained personnel are available. Such as variations in the team’s composition and size.

The reasonably expected support of professional emergency responders, including availability of personnel trained for heights and their reasonable expected response time. The guiding principle when determining the required amount of trained staff, is that the emergency response time of a trained Emergency responder should be as small as is reasonably possible. In other words, if training additional employees in advanced rescue provides a significant reduction in response time, then GWO advices to train those additional employees. To implement GWO ART, the employer will need to have the following:

  • An integrated emergency response plan
  • Sufficiently trained personnel
  • Dedicated advanced rescue equipment
