The Advanced Rescue Course is a specialised training program designed to impart participants with the skills and knowledge to execute advanced abseiling and rescue operations in Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs).

The course includes various modules, each focused on specific rescue scenarios within WTGs, such as hub and nacelle rescues.

Participants will be trained to navigate through intricate rescue situations using industry-standard equipment and techniques, ensuring safety and efficacy in managing emergency scenarios within wind turbines.

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be awarded GWO certification for Advanced Rescue Training (ART) and PUASAR302 Undertake vertical rescue, with results duly recorded on the GWO global database (WINDA).

Furthermore, students are awarded nationally accredited Units of Competency.

These courses are delivered and assessed on behalf of Allens Training Pty Ltd RTO 90909 by Urban Abseiler Pty Ltd. (listed below).

  • GWO ART Hub Rescue (ART-H) Participants will learn to conduct rescue operations within a Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) hub, spinner, and inside the blade, using advanced industry-standard equipment and techniques, going beyond GWO Working at Height standards.
  • GWO ART Nacelle, Tower & Basement Rescue (ART-N) This module focuses on enabling participants to perform rescues in a WTG’s nacelle, tower, and basement, utilising industry-standard rescue methods and equipment, and exceeding GWO work at height standards.
  • GWO ART Single Rescuer - Hub, Spinner & Inside Blade (SART-H) Participants will be trained to perform single rescuer advanced rescue operations within a WTG hub, spinner, and inside the blade, employing industry-standard rescue equipment and methods, and surpassing GWO’s Basic Safety Training (BST) Working at Heights standards.
  • Single Rescuer - Nacelle, Tower, Basement (SART-N) This module aims to equip participants with the skills to execute single rescuer advanced rescue operations in a WTG nacelle, tower, and basement, using industry-standard rescue equipment and methods, and exceeding GWO’s BST Working at Heights standards.
  • Furthermore, students are awarded nationally accredited Units of Competency.

Each highlight is focused on a specific aspect of rescue within wind turbine environments, ensuring participants are adept in various rescue scenarios, utilising industry-standard equipment and methodologies, and adhering to GWO standards.

The course's objective is to equip participants with the capability to effectively lead advanced rescue operations.

This includes adhering to safety practices and managing a range of emergency and rescue scenarios. The course emphasises the utilisation and application of specialised tools to address complex rescue situations, ensuring proper casualty handling while accessing and rescuing individuals from different locations within WTGs.

Fitness & Health

Participating in a GWO Module demands not only mental acuity but also physical robustness due to their potentially strenuous nature.

Candidates shall be at least 18 years of age at the start of the course.

Candidates should be physically fit and unaffected by any disability or medical condition that may prevent them from working safely. They shall ensure that they have an adequate level of fitness, are physically able to perform the tasks expected in terms of strength, agility and co-ordination.

 Candidates are required to certify that they do not have any medical disabilities or contraindications that may prevent them from working safely.

*Hold Valid WINDA Training Records: Participants are required to have valid WINDA (Wind Industry Database) training records for the following GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) modules:
-Working at Heights Module
-First Aid
-Manual Handling

*Enrolling students must provide their unique GWO WINDA registration number during enrolment in the training. Registering for your WINDA number is a quick process, taking only a few minutes. Click HERE to register on WINDA.

*Enrolling students must also provide their Unique Student Identifier (USI) number during enrolment in the training. Registering for your USI number is a quick process, taking only a few minutes. Click HERE to register or recover your USI.

In addition to rescue teams, it's essential to highlight that wind turbines (WTGs) are frequently situated in remote areas.

Possessing the skills to be self-reliant when the nearest medical or emergency responders are at a significant distance becomes a near necessity for anyone working on WTGs.

Participants will navigate through a series of learning activities that mitigate common WTG emergency rescue-related hazards, such as:

  • Injured person issues (getting stuck, improper anchor point use, etc.)
  • Equipment challenges (breaking ropes, limited space for harness application, etc.)
  • Environmental and situational challenges (weather conditions, vessel collision, etc.)
  • Safety and communication mishaps (improper PPE, ineffective communication, etc.)

Theory/Written Assessment, which may include Short Answer Questions, Multiple Choice, and Verbal Questioning Interviews; and Direct Observation/Practical Assessment, which may occur in the workplace, simulated environments, or through role play/scenario exercises.

Upon successful completion, participants will acquire knowledge in legislative requirements, hazards & risks, emergency planning, casualty management, incident response, and advanced rescue equipment usage.

Skills development includes managing an incident scene, using rescue devices, safe stretcher rigging and handling, and executing various wind turbine rescue procedures.

Also, participants will be awarded GWO certification Advanced Rescue Training, with results duly recorded on the GWO global database (WINDA).

Completion of the course will also bring nationally recognised ‘Units of Competency’.

  • PUASAR022 Participate in a rescue operation
  • PUASAR032 Undertake vertical rescue

These courses are delivered and assessed on behalf of Allens Training Pty Ltd RTO 90909 by Urban Abseiler Pty Ltd.
