GWO Advanced Rescue Training (ART) Combined

Course Overview

The GWO ART (Advanced Rescue Training) combined course elevates the self-reliance of wind personnel and provides the skills and knowledge to successfully transport a colleague who cannot self-evacuate to an assembly point until professional emergency responders arrive.

The training aims to control the risks associated with rescue operations conducted in and from wind turbines to ensure more efficiency in the industry.

This course elevates the self-reliance of wind personnel and provides the skills and knowledge to successfully transport a colleague who cannot self-evacuate to an assembly point until professional emergency responders arrive.

This is the combined GWO ART which includes all four modules covering rescue and single rescuer in the hub, spinner, inside blade, nacelle, tower and basement sections of a wind turbine.

The equipment used during the training course carries a weight limit of 136-140kg. For participants this maximum weight includes clothes and safety equipment, we therefore recommend a maximum bodyweight of 120kg. Our equipment also has a maximum waist size of 120cm.
