Wind Turbine Safety Training Animation

The animation was created for science meet industry webinar which was organized by Norwegian offshore wind cluster https://offshore-wind.no/event/webinar-science-meets-industry-floating-offshore-wind-in-norway/ for which I was selected as a speaker to present my master thesis case study. There was around 400 participants and I presented it in the studio in Stavanger, Norway (26th May 2021).

The animation video emphasizes the following training tasks which are needed to be followed for a safe working inside a wind turbine.
1. Wear the harnesses properly
2. Effective use of fall arresters (Y-line)
3. Proper placing of the self-locking slider on ladder railings
4. Open and close the hatch door safely
5. To connect the Y line to the anchor point (Yellow) with fall factor 0 or 1
6. To connect the self-locking slider to perform the evacuation jump safely
7. To identify the evacuation gear in case of emergency

The animation scenes are planned as below, it will cover all the above-mentioned training task. The animation is done in blender software.

Scene 1: The technician dressed appropriately (wearing the safety gears ) standing outside the turbine.
Scene 2: The technician opens the door and enters the wind turbine.
Scene 3: The technician secures the self-locking slider on ladder railings and starts climbing the ladder.
Scene 4: The technician reaches the first level and opens and closes the hatch.
Scene 5: The technician identifies the first aid kit.
Scene 6: The technician climbs further and reaches the second level and secures Y line to the anchor point with fall factor of 1.
Scene 7: The technician locates and picks up the evacuation gear and then disconnect the Y line (following safety protocol).
Scene 8: The technician reaches the top level of the wind turbine to perform an evacuation jump.
Scene 9: The technician remembers to connect his self-locking slider and other safety gears for safety purpose.
Scene 10: The technician jumps from the outer part of the tower.
