The learning objectives of the Advanced Rescue Training Hub, Spinner & Inside Blade Rescue Refresher Module are to ensure delegates' ability to:

• Assess and determine rescue strategy (relevant rescue method, technique, certified equipment, and required personnel) for various rescue scenarios
• Assess and determine evacuation strategy during a rescue operation, attending to a clear and preferred evacuation route for the injured person outside or inside a wind turbine generator (WTG) 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 and control common risks of hazardous energies and common hazards of enclosed space areas in a wind turbine when performing rescue operations
• Apply rescue methods and techniques when performing descending and ascending rescue operations, from a wind turbine hub, spinner and inside a blade, using a rescue stretcher and spineboard, manually operated lowering/raising rescue system for limited distance rescue (rescue device, pulley system or similar), and other relevant rescue equipment
• Fit a harness and other PPE (e.g. helmet, safety glasses) onto an injured person, in an enclosed space in a WTG
• 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 a cervical collar and avoiding head down configuration of the unconscious/injured person
• Communicate clearly within a potentially stressful rescue situation, both as rescue team coordinator and team member

• Enclosed space to ground (under gearbox, inside and/or behind generator, under the floor, incl. zip line in nacelle)
• Transformer room to nacelle
• Basement to ground floor (manually operated rescue up)
• Inside and outside evacuation (including measures to mitigate interfering elements)
• Rescue up e.g for helicopter extraction
• WaH: Knowledge Review
• WaH: Rescue from ladder
• WaH: Self-evacuation

Delegates receive two certificates upon completion of the nacelle and tower rescue refresher module (including working at heights refresher)
