The Advanced Rescue Training (ART) course is designed to train wind industry professionals with the essential skills and knowledge required to perform rescues in various emergency situations inside wind turbines. With a comprehensive approach, the course is structured into four modules, each focusing on a specific type of rescue, including rescues inside hubs, nacelles, towers, pits, and confined spaces.

Compliant with Global Wind Organisation (GWO) standards, participants will learn to manage high-risk situations using specialized rescue equipment and procedures adapted to wind environments.

Training objectives:

• Acquire the necessary skills to perform advanced rescues in wind environments safely and efficiently.
• Apply specialized rescue techniques in the hub, nose, and blade, using advanced equipment and procedures.
• Execute rescue operations in nacelle, tower, and pit, including confined and hard-to-access spaces.
• React quickly and efficiently to height emergencies, ensuring the safety of both the team and the victim.

Syllabus:

Hub, nose, and blade interior rescue (HSIBR)

• Introduction and emergency procedures
• Emergency response plan within the organization
• Injury prevention during training
• Head support and risks during rescue
• Victim packaging and immobilization
• Rescue descent and lifting systems

Nacelle, tower, and pit rescue (NTBR)

• Introduction and emergency procedures
• Emergency response plan within the organization
• Injury prevention during training
• Head support and risks during rescue
• Victim packaging and immobilization
• Rescue descent and lifting system

Hub, nose, and blade interior rescue with single rescuer (SR:HSIBR)

• Introduction and emergency procedures
• Individual rescuer strategy
• Injury prevention during training

Nacelle, tower, and pit rescue with single rescuer (SR:NTBR)

• Introduction and emergency procedures
• Individual rescuer strategy
• Injury prevention during training

Practical training

• Hub interior rescue (from the blade)
• Hub interior rescue (from the nose)
• External victim evacuation
• Confined space rescue
• Ascending rescue
• Chamber rescue (crawling-required space)
• Head support and immobilization techniques
• Rescue descent and lifting systems

Combining theory and hands-on practice, this course trains participants to respond effectively to emergencies in wind turbines, ensuring safe operations and a fast response to any incident at height or in confined spaces.
