ABOUT GLOBAL WIND ORGANISATION
– Fire Awareness : upon completion of training delegates understand the main causes of fire in a WTG environment, can identify signs of fire, and have knowledge of its spread. They have practiced fire extinguishing and emergency escape procedures. – Working at Heights : upon completion, delegates demonstrate understanding of risks associated with working at heights in a WTG environment. They have demonstrated their ability to identify standard markings, anchor points, inspection of equipment, correct application of products including safety harnesses correct use of evacuation devices and how to approach rescue situations. – Sea Survival: upon completion, delegates have demonstrated understanding of the dangers and symptoms relevant to hypothermia and drowning and have demonstrated safe use of different equipment for offshore activities. In addition, they will have demonstrated safe transfer from vessels to the WTG and back, evacuation from WTG to water, man-over-board, as well as individual and collective sea survival techniques.
Founded in 2012, GWO is a non-profit organisation of wind turbine owners and wind turbine manufacturers, committed to the creation and adoption of standardized safety training and emergency procedures.
THE BASIC TECHNICAL TRAINING STANDARD INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING MODULES: – Mechanical : The BTT Mechanical Module provides delegates with the ability to explain and demonstrate the correct use of mechanical systems such as gearbox and yaw, basic operations of WTGs and an explanation of the risks and hazards associated with the mechanics of wind turbines. – Electrical : The BTT Electrical Module provides the delegates with the ability to explain the basics of electricity within a WTG environment including; the risks and hazards associated with electrical work, interpretation of electrical diagrams, the functions and symbols of components and sensors, as well as how to make correct and safe measurements. – Hydraulics : The BTT Hydraulic Module provides the delegates with the ability to explain the basics of hydraulics including the risks and hazards of hydraulic work within a WTG environment. In addition, the delegate shall be able to explain the functions of actuators, valves, accumulators and sensors and be able to identify fluid/oil transfer components, oil handling procedures, interpret hydraulic diagrams and accurately measure hydraulic pressure.
THE BASIC SAFETY TRAINING STANDARD INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING MODULES:
– First Aid : upon completion of training delegates have acquired relevant knowledge of, and have in scenario-based training exercises demonstrated ability to administer life-saving first aid and the use of first aid equipment with an emphasis on injuries experienced by persons working in a WTG environment – Manual Handling : upon completion of training, delegates can identify aspects of their job tasks that could lead to musculoskeletal injuries, have in scenario-based training demonstrated their understanding of safe practices, problem solving, risk reduction techniques and correct handling of loads.
