GWO First Aid - Refresher

The aim of this course is to enable participants to recognise signs and symptoms of life-threatening situations and administer safe and effective first aid in the Wind Turbine Industry and Wind Turbine Generator environment in order to save lives and prevent further injury, until the casualty can be handed over to the next level of care.

Description

After successfully having completed this BST First Aid Course, participants can:

  • Act independently in recognising, assessing, and prioritising the need for basic first aid and providing lifesaving first aid until the casualty can be handed over to the next level of care in case of an incident in the Wind Turbine Industry / WTG environment.
  • Take responsibility for recognising the limitations as a basic first aider, calling for help and enable evacuation of the casualty in case of an incident in the Wind Turbine Industry / WTG environment.

Prerequisites

  • Course Participants should also have a personal profile in WINDA and provide their own WINDA ID prior to completing any GWO Basic Safety Training.
  • A GWO course participant may attend a refresher course in the specific training module prior to the date of expiry on the current certificate or training record.
  • If a GWO training record is refreshed within the two months prior to expiry of the previous training, its new validity will begin from the previous certificate’s ‘valid until date’ in WINDA.
  • If a GWO certificate or training record is refreshed more than two months before expiry, it will carry the training completion date as the valid from date.
  • If any type of certificate or training record has expired, the course participant must attend the full initial training module(s) to obtain a new training record.
