ART – Advanced Rescue Training

DESCRIPTION

ART modules should enable participants to perform rescue of injured/incapacitated persons in a wind turbine (AG), using rescue equipment, methods and techniques, superior to those used in the GWO Works at Height module.

Planned dates

No dates planned.

• Assess and determine evacuation strategy during a rescue operation, defining an evacuation route for the injured person outside or inside the tower;
• Explain and demonstrate the identification and appropriate selection of certified structures and anchor points relevant to the various rescue scenarios;
• Explain and apply the concept of elevation angle, force triangulations, rope and edge protection, deflections;
• Explain and control the risks associated with dangerous energies and confined spaces in a GA when carrying out rescue operations;
• Apply rescue methods and techniques in performing descent and ascent rescues using a rescue stretcher and manually operated lift/descent rescue systems for limited distances and other rescue equipment relevant to the course participants;
• Place a harness and other PPE (e.g. helmet, safety glasses) on a victim in a restricted space in a GA;
• Stow a victim on a rescue stretcher in an upright position or horizontal configuration to allow safe transport, making regular checks and avoiding a head down configuration;
• Properly use rescue equipment such as cervical collars;
• Manually carry a victim on a stretcher in a balanced manner;
• Directly change the position of a victim from horizontal to vertical and vice versa in suspension;
• Perform rescue operations, using an extra back-up system when necessary (i.e. when the manually operated lowering/lifting rescue system is not certified for lifting people);
• Make proper use of artificial lighting systems (spotlights, head torch, hand torch) when existing lighting is unfavourable;
• Coordinate a rescue team, making the hazard and risk assessment, and determining the applicable rescue strategy;
• Ensure clear and accurate communication in a rescue operation under stress, both with rescue team members, as well as team coordinator and/or as a team member.
