Training in Action: Real-Life Rescue Scenarios
Here’s how refresher training can make a difference in critical situations:
-
Emergency Evacuation at Height: After completing the GWO ART Refresher course, a wind turbine technician team in a remote area successfully managed an emergency evacuation. When a team member became unconscious during maintenance 80 meters up, they used their updated skills to quickly and safely lower him from the nacelle to the ground.
This example highlights how regular refresher training ensures teams are prepared to respond effectively, even in high-stakes situations.
