INCREASED LEVEL OF RESCUE CAPABILITIES & FIRST AID PROVISION
Offshore teams face increased challenges such as the increased medical response time for attending the scene of a casualty and a need for an increased level of rescue capabilities and first aid provision as well as the factors listed below;
As a direct result, the industry is placing a greater level of importance of offshore teams being able to undertake advanced rescue and deliver remote medicine.
The GWO Advanced Rescue (ART) syllabus is a three-day training course and comprises of the following four modules:
Hub spinner and inside blade rescue (HSIBR) | Nacelle, tower and basement rescue (NTBR) |
Single rescuer: hub, spinner and inside blade rescue (SR:HSIBR) | Single rescuer: Nacelle, tower and basement module (SR:NTBR) |
These new advanced modules have been developed based upon risk assessments and industry-related accident and incident statistics during the installation phase as well as during the operations, service and maintenance work on wind turbine generators and wind power plants.
The GWO Advanced Rescue training combined modules aim to mitigate and control the risks associated with rescue operations undertaken in and from wind turbines to facilitate better emergency preparedness and response within the renewables industry.
