S COPE This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable training in the use of lifts in the industry. It has been prepared in cooperation with the members of GWO based on specific risk assessments, data from incident and accident statistics pertaining to the use, inspection, installation, and maintenance of lifts in wind turbine generators. This standard draft describes the requirements for training that are recommended by the members of the GWO aiming at inspection in relation to commissioning a lift after installation in a WTG. The members of the GWO recognise trained persons as competent within the use and inspection of lift in the wind industry and accept the trained person as possessing the required knowledge to use, inspect, and evacuate a lift in a WTG where they as duty-holders are accountable for safety. Training is verified through the GWO database WINDA.
Additional training may be required for company or country-specific reasons.
NOTE: On release of this LCI Training module, the training module will be part of the GWO Lift Training Standard

G ENERAL R EQUIREMENT TO GWO L IFT C OMMISSION AND I NSPECTION TRAINING Upon completion of the GWO Lift Commission and Inspection Training (LCI), participants will be aware of the risks and hazards encountered when doing commissioning inspections of lifts within the wind industry. Furthermore, they will be able to control and mitigate those risks and hazards. The GWO Lift Commission and Inspection Training Module will also equip participants with the ability to take responsibility and appropriately respond in the event of a hazardous situation and to increase their safety through proper use of personal protective equipment, emergency equipment, procedures, and safe craftsmanship. Performing inspection on a lift in a WTG is, at all times, dependent on using the relevant manual and technical instructions. Overview The GWO Lift Commission and Inspection Training module is a mix of theoretical and practical elements focusing on developing the needed knowledge, skills, and abilities for a wind technician to inspect a lift in a WTG in relation to commissioning after installation. The training has a generic focus in relation to different lift types and brands, and the initiative to seek guidance in relevant manuals and directives when needed is a fundamental part of the learning objectives for this training.
Target group
Personnel working on WTGs within the wind industry who shall inspect the installation and functioning of lifts in a WTG for the purpose of commissioning of the lift.
Aims and objectives Training in accordance with this standard will enable participants to take responsibility to support and care for themselves and others while inspection and testing a lift in the wind industry by possessing the required knowledge, skills, and ability to conduct assigned tasks and operations safely and efficiently. A prerequisite for being able to do this is that the relevant manuals and guides are at hand and used at all times.

Learning objectives Learning objectives describe what the participant should know and be able to do when the training is completed. The learning objectives in a training are based on the mitigating precautions analysed in the risk assessment. They are the foundation of the learning activities, the course contents and what the participant performance assessment must be based upon.
Coherence
between
the learning
objectives,
the learning
activities and the assessment is essential.
The purpose of this alignment is twofold:
1. To conduct learning activities that are directly focused on reaching the learning objectives. 2. That assessment of how well the learning objectives are met is done in close coherence with what the participant has practised during the learning activities and in a comparable environment.
Figure 6-1 Alignment figure
Defining learning objectives in relation to all training elements ensures the alignment between objectives, activities, and on-going participants assessment. More guidance about learning activities and evaluation can be found in the GWO Taxonomy Framework, annex to requirements for Training Providers. To be able to focus training on building up the necessary abilities, the learning objectives are described according to the GWO taxonomy in the three domains: Knowledge, Skills and Ability. Ability is what is performed and presented during real-life exercises as well as in the real work situation and is the sum of personal experiences, knowledge, skills, and ability. The GWO Taxonomy Framework The structure of the GWO Taxonomy is based on the three learning domains: Knowledge, Skills, and Ability. Learning objectives are also defined at three taxonomic levels: 1) Basic, 2) Intermediate, and 3) Advanced level. The taxonomy levels in the learning objectives are defined by a reasonable number of precise and explained action verbs (highlighted below). These action verbs are presented in a progression of increasing complexity beginning on the basic level, where the participant can name, recognise or describe a tool or a procedure, and ending at the advanced level, where the participant can act responsibly, evaluate performance, assess decisions and supervise fellow workers. The taxonomy and the presentation of action verbs in the progressive order imply that the previous taxonomic competences are already achieved.

Learning objectives in this standard are followed by an indication of the domain and taxonomy level in brackets (e.g., Skills, intermediate level). The taxonomic domains and levels are presented in the figure below.
Knowledge
Skills
Ability
The participants can experiment and refine their skills as well as select and evaluate on the performance and reactions in relevant situations.
The participants can adapt and act responsibly in new ways, pay attention to the safety of fellow workers and propose development of safety procedures.
The participants understand a topic in a holistic way, where risks, advantages and disadvantages are considered and form the background for reflected assessments or decisions for action. Action verbs are: Assess, explore, and choose. The participants can explain how things are done and how a piece of equipment or a tool is used. The participants can discuss a matter in professional terms and language .
The participants can supervise or manage
The participants can perform a given task, apply safety procedures or a tool, and distinguish between relevant and less relevant situations in which to apply a skill.
The participants can act independently, are able to identify connections and risks in work-related situations and can take initiative and take responsibility for feasible mitigating actions on the job. The participants can act independently or under supervision in familiar work situations.
The participants can describe a topic, name its constituent parts, or simply recognise it. Basic knowledge is observed by a one-dimensional
The participants can copy and repeat a procedure or an action, that has been presented.
Action verbs are: Show interest and solve

F ORMATIVE POST ELEMENT EVALUATIONS The participants must conduct an individual theory questionnaire on each element, where this is indicated in the relevant element. These questionnaires serve both as a re-cap for the participants on the theoretical topics of the elements, and they are the i evaluate the participants theoretical learning outcome and understanding. Questions must be aimed at the content and posed at the taxonomic level in the relevant learning objectives. They should also challenge the participants according to their professional experience level. The theory questionnaire can consist of multiple-choice or descriptive-answer questions, depending in complexity of the taxonomy level of the learning objectives concerned, that they are testing
The questionnaires must be conducted in accordance with the following criteria:
There shall be at least one question for each element in the module.
There shall be a time limit of maximum 1½ minutes per question.
The tests must be done individually.
Where a participant does not understand the meaning of a question or a multiple-choice option, the instructor must facilitate the participant to understand the meaning of the question or the multiple-choice options.
Participants may use:
Training material.
Handouts.
Own notes.
Correct answers must be shared at the end of the test to allow the participants to check and evaluate their answers. To enhance learning, it is recommended letting peer participants evaluate each other s answers.
