Wind Turbine Safety and Rescue Leader's Guide
400
This program supports the training of workers responsible for servicing horizontal-axis wind turbines.
Specific topics addressed by this program include:
- Fall Protection
- Lockout Tagout
- Confined Space
- Rescue
The Leader's Guide, PowerPoint and Student Workbooks provide qualified instructors* with the resources they need to achieve the learning objectives and help ensure that students are able to comply with the requirements of their company's (or client's) safety policies and programs.
The program is divided into two standalone sections: safety and rescue. These can be delivered in separate sessions by different instructors.

Rescue Glossary
* Instructor qualifications for teaching the safety course a complete understanding of the fall protection, energy isolation, and confined space regulations. In addition the instructors must thoroughly understand all their location's safety programs and policies which deal with these topics. Instructors who deliever the rescue training must understand the proper use of all self rescue (evacuation devices) that the students will be expected to use. They must also have rope rescue expertise and be capable of ensuring strict adherance to all safety requirements during the hands-on portion of the training. Instructors who wish to develop these skills may want to consider attending Industrial Rescue Team Leader training conducted by D2000 Safety or another advanced rope rescue program.
