Objective

The aim of this lesson is to enable the participants to conduct safe transfer of themselves and equipment between crew transfer vessel and wind turbine generator transition piece and back to vessel.

Target Group

Personnel who will be working in the wind industry or related fields, and will carry out their duties in a wind turbine environment, usually in physical contact with a wind turbine or offshore wind structure. Personnel that perform job functions that have been risk assessed by their employer or workplace, where training according to one or more modules of the BST standard may mitigate the identified risks.

The practical transfer training is designed as a two-step sequence of practical learning activities:
1) training the procedure for transfer from crew transfer vessel (CTV) to transition piece and back to CTV
2) practicing live transfer from CTV to transition piece and back to CTV
