SCOPE
Global Wind Organisation is a non -profit body founded by the wind turbine manufacturers and owners. Our members strive for an injury free work environment in the wind turbine industry, setting common international standards for safety training and emergency proce dures.
This standard describes the requirements for advanced rescue training courses that are
recommended by the
members of GWO. The full standard is comprised of two modules:
Hub, Spinner and Inside Blade Rescue - Initial and Refresher Training
•
Nacelle, Tower and Basement Rescue
- Initial and Refresher Training
•
This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisabl
e advanced res cue training in
the industry and has been prepared in co -operation between the members of GWO based on risk assessments and factual incident and accident statistics from G+ and the wind industry .
GWO members agree that everyone working on one of their
sites (wind turbine generators, sub stations, etc.)
shall complete advanced rescue training courses and subsequent company training
relevant for their
assignments. All work shall be done in teams of at least
two competent persons. Exemptions from the above
