The GWO Advanced Rescue Training (ART) course elevates the self-reliance of wind personnel and provides the skills and knowledge to successfully transport a colleague who cannot self-evacuate to an assembly point until professional emergency responders arrive.
The training aims to control the risks associated with rescue operations conducted in and from wind turbines to ensure more efficiency in the industry. This course includes all four modules covering rescue and single rescuer in the hub, spinner, inside blade, nacelle, tower and basement sections of a wind turbine.
Participants completing a GWO ART course will be able to;
– Safely access the hub, spinner, inside blade, nacelle, tower and basement section of a wind turbine to get to an injured person
– Perform entry-type casualty rescue operations in a wind turbine generator
– Correctly use industry standards rescue equipment and methods
– Understand and demonstrate rescue techniques that exceed those of GWO Working at Height
Learners completing the OPITO BOSIET CA-EBS (Digital) course will be able to:
- Identify the generic hazards specific to offshore oil and gas installations, potential risks associated with those hazards, and how controls are put in place to eliminate or reduce risks.
- Identify key offshore-related safety regulations and explain the basic safety management concepts
- Demonstrate, in a simulated environment, that they can use the safety equipment and follow procedures in preparing for and during helicopter emergencies – with particular focus on escaping from a helicopter following ditching
- Demonstrate sea survival and first aid techniques
- Demonstrate that they can effectively use basic firefighting equipment and practise self-rescue techniques in low visibility situations, including smoke-filled areas.
