GWO Courses

The GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) is the first step to a career in the Wind Industry. Upon completion of the course, participants will possess an awareness of the hazards encountered when working within the Wind Industry and how to control and mitigate these hazards.

The aim of this course is to enable the participants, through theoretical and practical training, to use basic personal protective equipment, work safely at height and perform comprehensive basic rescue from height in a remote wind turbine environment.

The aim of this course is to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries for wind technicians in the wind industry and enable participants to perform their tasks and activities in the safest possible way when working in a wind turbine environment.

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.

The aim of this course 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 GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) onshore refresher is designed for delegates that have completed the initial course within the past two years. Upon completion of the course, participants will have a refreshed awareness of the hazards encountered when working within the Wind Industry and how to control and mitigate these hazards.

The aim of this course is to enable the participants, through theoretical and practical training, to use basic personal protective equipment, work safely at heights and perform comprehensive basic rescue from heights in a wind turbine environment. Furthermore, this course also aims to encourage positive manual handling and ergonomic behaviour and enable participants to perform manual handling tasks in a safe manner.
