Maersk Training has launched a health and safety training course for the wind energy industry.
The Hub Rescue course has been designed to provide both theoretical and practical training for those required to access Hub and Yaw sections of wind turbine generators and how to rescue a casualty from these areas, explains the company.
The one day course, which Maersk Training recommend for WTG technicians, blade inspectors, and installation and maintenance subcontractors, covers areas including best practise for accessing the hub and carrying out rescues, practical casualty management with the rescue equipment and rescue and haulage of casualty from various locations on and inside the training rig.
According to Maersk, the Hub Rescue course will provide delegates with the knowledge and skill needed to work safely at height using appropriate restraint techniques and the correct casualty management using various stretchers and evacuation devices.
The company say places are still available on the courses; the first one is scheduled for May 2015, and enrolment is open now. For more information and dates, visit:
