Personal Escape for the Wind Energy Professional

When your job involves work on wind turbines, you need to be prepared for the unexpected. Vertical Rescue Solutions™ by PMI® offers custom Personal Escape Solutions instruction that suits both your needs and your environment. In the Personal Escape for the Wind Energy Professional class you’ll learn Personal Escape techniques that you can use down through the shaft of the turbine or off the top of the nacelle.

We can also help you decide which PMI® Personal Escape Solution best meets your unique needs. The ultra lightweight Micron™ Personal Escape Solution, with its fire-resistant Technora 6.5 mm rope, features an auto-locking “panic mode” if the handle is either squeezed too hard or released. It comes in its own bag, and is small enough that it can be worn on your harness and carried from job to job like any other tool for work at height. Or, if you prefer the peace of mind of an Escape Solution that utilizes an 11 mm rope used with a stainless steel, two person rated, auto-locking descent device like the PowerLock™, the TowerPack II™ may be just what you have been looking for.

Each participant will attend a classroom session that addresses the unique challenges each situation presents when using personal escape in the wind industry. Instruction on proper gear selection and compatibility, anchor selection, escape and controlled descent techniques will allow participants to use their personal escape gear with confidence - not in panic - when the chips are down. Hands-on field sessions will give each participant the opportunity for several repetitions in a safe, controlled environment to reinforce learning.
