GWO Advanced Rescue Training

The GWO Advanced Rescue Training (ART) is a comprehensive program designed to equip wind energy professionals with advanced rescue skills for complex emergency situations in the wind industry. This course focuses on specialized rescue operations that may occur at height, within wind turbine structures, or in confined spaces, where quick and effective response is critical for safety. Participants will learn advanced rescue techniques tailored to the unique challenges of wind turbine environments, such as rescuing from hubs, blades, nacelles, and towers.

Here’s how advanced training skills from Maersk Training can be applied in critical situations:

1. Emergency Rescue at Height
   In a sudden medical emergency—such as a technician becoming unconscious in a turbine nacelle—trained team members can perform quick and safe extrication. Their skills allow them to assess and act swiftly, ensuring the technician’s safety.

2. Rescue After a Serious Fall
   In one scenario, a wind farm team used their Advanced Rescue Training (ART) skills to safely lower an injured technician who had fallen inside a turbine tower. By applying their training, they efficiently brought him to the ground for urgent medical care, ultimately saving his life.

These examples show how Maersk Training prepares wind energy professionals for real-life emergencies, equipping them with the skills needed to respond effectively under pressure.
