Course description

The training combines two key areas:

  • ART-N (Nacelle, Tower, Basement): Rescue from the nacelle, ladders inside the tower and from the turbine basement (lower section). It focuses on evacuation from confined passages and vertical ladder systems,
  • ART-H (Hub, Spinner, Inside Blade): Advanced techniques for extracting casualties from the hub, hub housing and inside the blades. The course places great emphasis on practical scenarios in which rescuers must demonstrate creativity in constructing extraction systems with limited anchor points.

Duration

The course lasts 23 hours.

Prerequisites

  • Possession of a valid WINDA ID number,
  • At least 18 years of age,
  • Valid (not expired) basic certificates:
    • GWO BST Working at Heights,
    • GWO BST First Aid,
    • GWO BST Manual Handling.
  • Excellent physical fitness and no fear of confined spaces (claustrophobia).

Outcomes upon completion

The participant is able to effectively identify and select the safest evacuation route in critical situations. They are fully prepared to rig advanced rope and mechanical advantage systems inside a wind turbine and to efficiently manage the entire rescue operation as a team leader (On-site Lead). Furthermore, they possess the skills necessary to provide continuous assistance to the casualty during vertical and horizontal transport within confined structures.

Certificate validity

The certificate is valid for 24 months (2 years). To maintain certification, a refresher course must be completed within the last 2 months prior to the expiry date of the current certificate.

Information about the completed training will be recorded in the international GWO WINDA database. The digital record allows authorised employers to instantly verify your qualifications.  For the participant, this means easy confirmation of competence worldwide without the need for paper documents.

What to bring

  • Valid ID card or passport,
  • Comfortable work or sports clothing (preferably close-fitting to avoid snagging on structural elements),
  • Work boots (with a steel toe cap and good grip).
