GWO Working at Height

GWO BST training will enable participants to support and care for themselves and others working in the industry by possessing the knowledge and skills of first aid, working at heights, manual handling, fire awareness, sea survival and in case of an emergency, to be able to evacuate, rescue and provide appropriate first aid to casualties.

The aim of this module is to enable the participants, through theoretical and practical training, to use basic personal protective equipment, work safety at height and perform comprehensive basic rescue from height in a remote wind turbine environment. This course is not designed to test the participants’ capability and aptitude for working at height, i.e. It is not a test for fear of heights.

The aim of the BST First Aid Module is to enable participants, through theoretical and practical training, to recognise signs and symptoms of life threating situations and administer safe and effective first aid in the wind turbine industry/WTG environment in order to save lives and prevent further injury, until the casualty can be handed over to the next level of care.

The aim of this module is to enable the participants to prevent fires, make appropriate judgements when evaluating a fire, manage evacuation of personnel and ensure all are safely accounted for in the event of an unmanageable fire. If the incident is judged to be safe, the participants should be able to efficiently extinguish an initial fire by using basic handheld firefighting equipment.

The aims of this module are, by theoretical and practical training, to give the participants the ability to act safely and responsibly and to take the correct preventive actions in all aspects of offshore operations from shore to installation vessel (or WTG) and vice versa. This is both during normal operations and in an offshore wind energy environment emergency.

The GWO Enhanced First Aid (EFA) course aims to equip delegates with the skills to provide immediate enhanced first aid, using advanced emergency equipment, in remote or challenging environments like wind turbine generators. Delegates will learn to manage both serious and minor injuries, administering aid in a safe and sound manner with particular regard for personal protection. This training covers emergency situations, medical teleconsultation, and preparing casualties for evacuation.

This module aims to enable delegates to perform entry-type injured person rescue operations in a Wind Turbine Generator using industry-standard rescue equipment, rescue methods and techniques exceeding those of GWO Working at Heights. Upon completion of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Advanced Rescue training (ART) participants will be able to access and rescue an injured person from the hub and the nacelle, tower, and basement section of a wind turbine.
