Advanced Rescue Training Standard

The aim of this module is to provide participants with the knowledge, skills and abilities, through theoretical and practical training, to perform rescue operations, in a WTG hub, spinner and inside the blade by using industry standard rescue equipment, methods and techniques, exceeding those of GWO Working at Height.

The Hub, Spinner and Inside Blade Rescue Refresher Training is a targeted 1-day module that revisits and reinforces the key knowledge, skills and abilities from the Hub, Spinner and Inside Blade Rescue Initial Training. The focus is on scenario-based practical training, updating participants on current best practice, and verifying that they continue to meet the learning objectives, rather than repeating every element of the initial training in full.

In alignment with the initial module, the Hub, Spinner and Inside Blade Rescue Refresher Training shall include a minimum of 90 minutes of practical training explicitly focused on single rescuer advanced rescue operations in the hub, spinner and inside the blade. This single rescuer refresher content shall be integrated into the practical exercises of the refresher module and shall not increase the overall module duration.

The aim of this section is to enable participants, through theoretical and practical training, to perform rescue operations, in a WTG nacelle, tower and basement, by using industry standard rescue equipment, methods and techniques, exceeding those of GWO Working at Height.

The aim of this module is to enable participants, through theoretical and practical training, to review and build on previously gained knowledge and skills from the Nacelle, Tower and Basement Rescue Initial Training as well as the BST Working at Heights and Manual Handling Modules to enable the course participants to perform injured person rescue operations in a WTG nacelle, tower, and basement, by using industry standard rescue equipment, methods, and techniques.
