Course Introduction

At present, the height of offshore wind turbines can be well over 100 meters. In order to have the trainees experience the aerial work setting more directly, our university discussed with foreign professional trainers to jointly plan a tower with a total height of about 12 meters, which is close to the standing height of 10.3 meters, i.e. the height human beings fear the most physiologically; this tower simulates abseiling and rescue survival to overcome psychological obstacles. Moreover, in order to simulate more closely to the actual wind turbine, it is designed with three different fall prevention systems for the training of climbing ladders, so that trainees can learn to wear various personal protective equipment such as full-body safety harness, working position ropes and hook ropes, and go from theoretical principles to practical hands-on aerial work training courses. This will give the trainees a chance to practice their skills, learn to self-protect and undergo rescue training in a setting that is closer to actual wind turbine environment.
