Assess and determine rescue strategy (relevant rescue method, technique, certified equipment, and required personnel) for various rescue scenarios, from the nacelle, tower or basement of a WTG
Assess and determine evacuation strategy during a rescue operation, attending to a clear and preferred evacuation route for the injured person outside or inside the tower
Explain and demonstrate the identification and suitable selection of certified and structural anchor points, relevant for various rescue scenarios
Explain and apply the concept of lifting angle, angle factor and deviation
Explain national and local requirements and/or procedures for helicopter rescue in an WTG, including preparing the injured person, preparing the WTG, the Heli-pad safe zones and safe behaviour included
Explain and control common risks of hazardous energies and common hazards of enclosed space areas, when performing rescue operations
Apply rescue methods and techniques in performing descending and ascending rescue operations, from a WTG nacelle, tower and basement, using a rescue stretcher and spineboard, manually and power-driven lowering/raising rescue system (rescue device, pulley system or similar)
Fit a harness and other PPE (e.g. helmet, safety glasses) onto an injured person, in an enclosed space
Package an injured person on a rescue stretcher and spineboard in a vertical or horizontal configuration to enable safe transportation, by doing regular checks, using rescue equipment such as cervical collar and avoiding head down configuration of the unconscious injured person.
Manually transport an injured person on a rescue stretcher or spineboard - in a balanced way
Change directly from balancing an injured person from a horizontal position to a vertical configuration (and vice versa) when suspended
Perform rescue operations, in the nacelle, tower and basement, using safe and suitable (certified or structural) anchor points, lifting angles, deviation, and edge protection for the rescue equipment
Perform rescue operations using the casualties personal fall protection on the injured person - as fall protection backup, when required
Perform rescue operations in a WTG nacelle, tower and basement using personal flashlight (e.g. helmet light), if required due to poor lighting conditions
Act as the informal rescue team coordinator performing scene assessment and hazard identification, assessing and determining the rescue strategy and exercising clear communication
Perform clear and precise communication in a stressful rescue operation, both with members of the rescue team as a team coordinator and as a team member
Apply clear communication and guidance to other emergency responders (e.g. vessel crew or ambulance crew) including coordinating the handover of an injured person
Transport an injured person horizontally over the length of the turbine, with the use of industry rescue equipment (zip line)
Transport an injured person to a higher platform, using rescue up techniques and equipment (both manual and power-driven) in a controlled and secure manner Course Participants will show signs of:
Acknowledging the benefits of having a coordinator in a rescue team, and the responsibility that comes with it
Taking part in discussing which advanced rescue preparations, and emergency and communication procedures, apply in their own organization 22) Committing themselves to avoid incidents from where they may be exposed to a rescue operation 23) Committing themselves to act out this value by demonstrating a pro-active approach and role model behaviour.
