GWO Advanced Rescue Training – Hub, Spinner and Inside Blade Rescue (ART H)

SKU: GWO ART H

Course objective

To teach participants theoretical and practical methods for rescuing casualties from extremely difficult and confined spaces within a wind turbine: the hub, spinner and inside blades. The course emphasises working in pairs and cooperation with professional rescue services.

Duration: 12 hours
Location: Gdynia
GWO compilance: V6
Price per person: 2500 zł
(about 575 €)

Course description

The training focuses on rescue scenarios in locations with very limited manoeuvring space:

  • Evacuation techniques: Use of specialist stretchers and rope systems inside the blades and hub,
  • Care of the casualty: Securing an injured person in narrow passages and vertical blade channels,
  • Anchor points: Identification and use of certified and improvised anchor points inside the hub,
  • Rescue strategies: Planning a ‘top-down’ operation and extracting the casualty from hard-to-reach recesses of the machine.

Duration

The course lasts 12 hours. Often delivered as part of a package with the ART-N module (Nacelle, Tower, Basement).

Prerequisites

  • Possession of a valid WINDA ID number,
  • At least 18 years of age,
  • Valid GWO BST certificates: Working at Heights, First Aid and Manual Handling,
  • A valid GWO Enhanced First Aid (EFA) certificate is recommended,
  • No fear of enclosed or very confined spaces (claustrophobia is a contraindication).

Outcomes upon completion

The participant is able to effectively conduct a rescue operation even in the most confined spaces of a wind turbine. They are fully prepared to correctly use advanced rescue equipment, such as MILAN evacuation devices or SKED and KED stretchers. They can efficiently coordinate rescue actions as a two-person team leader and precisely adapt the evacuation method to the specific design of the turbine’s blade and hub.

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 regarding the completed training will be recorded in the international GWO WINDA database. The digital record enables 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 identity document (ID card or passport),
  • Full workwear (overalls/trousers and jacket).
  • Safety footwear.
