Evacuation & Self-Rescue for Height Workers
Self-rescue skills are essential for workers at height including the wind industry, especially given the isolated and elevated nature of their work. Competent Person training in evacuation and self-rescue enables workers to safely evacuate from height without external assistance if needed. This training includes:
-
Solo X and Similar Devices: Solo X and similar self-rescue devices allow workers to descend safely in case of an emergency. Competent Persons learn how to properly deploy these devices, control their descent, and safely land on the ground.
-
Controlled Descent Techniques: Competent Persons are trained in the mechanics and safety considerations of controlled descent, ensuring they can guide their descent smoothly without risking injury. Training includes handling wind conditions, obstacles, and varying descent speeds.
-
Emergency Preparedness: Preparing for an evacuation is as important as executing one. Competent Persons learn to plan and practice evacuation drills with their teams, ensuring all workers are familiar with self-rescue procedures and know how to remain calm and focused in an emergency.
Self-rescue training ensures that wind energy workers are prepared for unexpected situations, providing them with the skills and confidence to evacuate safely in emergencies.
Course Duration: 1 day
Evacuation & Advanced Rescue for Height Workers
In addition to self-rescue, advanced rescue techniques are essential for rescuing incapacitated workers. Competent Person training in advanced rescue techniques is critical in the wind energy sector and for all height workers, where access to external emergency services may be limited. This training focuses on equipment and skills necessary for complex rescue scenarios.
-
Red Pro and Advanced Rescue Devices: Red Pro and similar advanced rescue devices allow rescuers to perform complex lifts, lowers, and controlled extractions. Competent Persons learn to operate these devices, ensuring they can handle the mechanics and safely execute rescues with minimal risk to the rescuer and the victim.
-
Rescue Techniques for Incapacitated Workers: Competent Persons are trained in methods for rescuing workers who may be unconscious or unable to assist in their own rescue. This includes securing the victim, maneuvering around obstacles, and coordinating with ground teams.
-
Team Coordination and Communication: Rescue operations require precise teamwork and clear communication, especially in high-stress situations. Competent Persons learn how to coordinate with team members, assign roles, and maintain constant communication throughout the rescue to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Advanced rescue training is vital for wind energy workers, as it enables Competent Persons to respond to emergencies effectively, ensuring the safety of both the rescuer and the worker in distress.
