Our GWO Nacelle, Tower, and Basement Rescue (NTBR) course is designed for personnel working in the wind industry or related fields who may be required to perform or lead advanced rescue operations within a wind turbine environment. This training is essential for those selected by their employer to mitigate the risks associated with rescue scenarios that exceed the standard GWO Work at Height requirements. The course focuses on enabling participants to carry out injured person rescue operations in the nacelle, tower, and basement areas of a wind turbine generator (WTG), using industry-standard rescue equipment and advanced techniques. It also covers single rescuer advanced rescue operations, ensuring that participants are prepared for a wide range of emergency situations.

The GWO Nacelle, Tower, and Basement Rescue (NTBR) module ensures that participants can assess and determine appropriate rescue and evacuation strategies, select and use certified anchor points, and apply advanced rescue methods for both descending and ascending operations.

Participants will also learn about national and local requirements for helicopter rescue, effective communication during emergencies, and the responsibilities of acting as a rescue team coordinator. This comprehensive approach prepares individuals to respond effectively to complex rescue scenarios in challenging wind turbine environments.

To participate in this course, attendees should bring their own personal protective equipment such as shoes and helmets if available. The training is suitable for anyone who may need to perform or coordinate advanced rescues in wind turbines, and it emphasizes both technical skills and proactive safety behaviors. All course content is delivered in accordance with the latest GWO standards, ensuring that participants are equipped with the knowledge and practical abilities required for safe and effective rescue operations in the nacelle, tower, and basement of wind turbines.
