Single Rescuer: Nacelle, Tower & Basement Rescue

Aims and objectives of the Single Rescuer NTBR Module

The aim of this module is to enable the participants to perform single rescuer advanced rescue operations, in a WTG nacelle, tower and basement, by using industry standard rescue equipment, methods and techniques, exceeding those of GWO’s BST Working at Heights Module.

Based on the participants’ NTBR Module qualifications, the Single Rescuer NTBR Module shall ensure that participants are able to:

1. Assess and determine single rescuer rescue strategy (relevant rescue method, technique, certified equipment and how to organise the rescue efforts and incident scene) for various rescue scenarios, in a WTG nacelle, tower and basement

2. Apply rescue methods and techniques in performing descending and ascending single rescuer rescue operations, from a WTG nacelle, tower and basement using a rescue stretcher and transfer board, manually

operated and power-driven lowering/raising rescue system (rescue device and pulley system or similar), and other rescue equipment relevant to the participants.
