Participants will refresh their knowledge on risk assessment, choosing appropriate fall protection systems, and methods to minimize risks while working at elevated positions, whether on structures or wind turbines.

• Performing Comprehensive Basic Rescue Operations from Heights: Participants will refresh their skills in conducting complex rescue operations from heights in remote wind energy environments. This includes revisiting the planning and execution of rescue missions, the use of rescue equipment, and collaborative methods to ensure the efficient evacuation of individuals in distress.
