A STRONG START
CONTENTS
WINDA Annual Report 2018
Welcome to the WINDA Annual Report 2018, reviewing data retrieved from the WINDA database for the 2017 calendar year. 1
Assuming an average of one annual avoided training day per GWO certified training day, GWO certified technicians have potentially been available for an additional 121,744 days of work during 2017. WINDA has had a strong start. The straightforward verification of training records is helping employers avoid unnecessary spending on re-training, while training providers increasingly advocate GWO as the benchmark for safety training across the world.

03 Introduction: Jakob Lau-Holst
In these pages, we clarify the numbers behind the thousands of GWO safety training modules carried out by wind turbine technicians as the industry continues to expand its worldwide adoption of our standards. Even at this early stage (WINDA was launched in October 2016), the data demonstrates the industry’s commitment to reducing duplication, cutting costs and improving quality through the collective pursuit of standardized health and safety training. We are confident the numbers speak for themselves. Our member- ship frequently reports that by adopting GWO standards they can make considerable improvements in the overall efficiency of their training programs. Anecdotal evidence from Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) manufacturers in GWO membership suggests this could be roughly equivalent to the time spent by technicians on their previous basic safety and technical programs. For global sub-contractors, the frequency of avoided duplication is reportedly much higher, as they tend to have more mobility across installation and service sites.
