The need for training in rescue at height for both onshore and offshore wind turbines increase in line with the complexity of the technology. With a significant increase in training capacity at its Enge-Sande location, OffTEC Base GmbH & Co. KG now offers even more flexible possibilities in the field of safety at height and rescue from height. The existing Technology Training Centre (TTC), in which most of these courses are held, has been expanded in the shape of a generous building extension and new challenges, including a training bridge for training rescue and evacuation with increased level of difficulty.
Safe in especially challenging situations
“On the one hand we have created additional capacity for holding basic courses, and on the other hand we can now simulate new and difficult situations for our rescue from height courses”, says technical managing director Andreas Rauschelbach. The TCC is designed for a variety of evacuation and rescue scenarios. In addition to the classical rescue from ladders on all popular climbing protection systems and various methods of self-evacuation, the massively enlarged facility now offers advanced training for very experienced service technicians.
Rescue scenarios seasoned wind technicians
In addition to the numerous wind turbine simulators and a platform, there is also a sophisticated training bridge to confront participants with unknown situations. There has been a significant increase of interest in our newly developed advanced rescue training courses, and this will continue to increase,” says Klaus Loesmann, commercial managing director of OffTEC. “These include such things as rescue from confined spaces or rescue from areas where there is a great risk of falling, such as the transition piece out at sea.” With the expanded range of courses customer requirements can be realised even better with tailor-made rescue training.
