5 G ENERAL R EQUIREMENTS FOR GWO B ASIC S AFETY T RAINING
Upon completion of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Basic Safety Training (BST), participants will possess an awareness of the hazards encountered when working within the wind industry and how to control and mitigate these hazards. The BST will also equip participants with the knowledge, skills and confidence to appropriately respond in the event of an emergency and to increase their safety through proper use of Personal Protective Equipment, emergency equipment and procedures. The approved GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) provides participants with important skills, which include Fire Awareness, First Aid, Working at Heights and Manual Handling. To enable participants to work in the offshore environment, an additional GWO Sea Survival training shall be completed.
5.1 Overview
The GWO Basic Safety Training is divided into the following six Modules:
First Aid
Manual Handling
Fire Awareness
Working at Heights
Working at Heights & Manual Handling Combined
Sea Survival
Note:
Module 5 Working at Heights & Manual Handling Combined is a combined module comprising the lessons and elements from both the working at height module and the manual handling module and is intended to be delivered in 2 days. The combined working at height & manual handling module can be delivered instead of the two standalone modules, where the combined course is delivered, then the participant shall receive two training records – one for working at height and one for manual handling.
5.2 Target group
Personnel who will be working in the wind industry or related fields and will have their duties in a wind turbine environment, usually in physical contact with a wind turbine or an offshore wind structure. Personnel that perform job functions that have been risk assessed by their employer or their workplace duty holder as a function, where training according to one or more modules of the BST standard may mitigate of the identified risks.

6 U NDERSTAND GWO L EARNING O BJECTIVES
6.1 Learning objectives
Learning objectives describe what the participant should know and be able to do when the training is completed.
The learning objectives are based on the mitigating precautions analysed in the risk assessment, and 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 practiced during the learning activities and in a comparable environment .
Enabling learning objectives are further sub-specifications of the learning objectives. Enabling objectives are what the instructor should be concentrating on when observing the participant ’ s performance and development in action . Furthermore, evaluation should be focused on the enab ling objectives as well as on the learning objectives. Ability is what is performed and presented during real-life exercises as well as in the real work situation and is the sum of experiences, knowledge, skills and attitudes. To be able to focus training on building up the necessary abilities, the learning objectives are described according to the taxonomy in the three domains: Knowledge, Skills and Ability.
6.2 Taxonomy
The GWO Taxonomy offers:
Guidance and support for Training Providers when designing both focused and assessable learning activities from the stated learning objectives. Guidance and inspiration for instructors when executing learning activities and when assessing the participants ’ learning outcome.
Digital advice when feasible.
Instructions and guidance for auditors when auditing in the pedagogical and didactic scope.
Global Wind Organisation www.globalwindsafety.org
17 / 206
GWO Basic Safety Training V14.0
2021-04-01_TS_BST_V14
Learning objectives are presented in three taxonomic levels: 1) Basic, 2) Intermediate and 3) Advanced level. The three levels in each domain are described as follows:
Knowledge
Skills
Ability
The participant understands a topic in a holistic view, where risks, advantages and disadvantages are considered forming the background for reflected assessments or decisions for action.
The participant can experiment and refine his or her skills as well as reflect and evaluate on the behaviour and reactions in relevant situations.
Can adapt and act responsibly in new ways, pay attention to the safety of fellow workers and propose development of safety procedures. Safety awareness and responsibility is an instinctive part of the ability.
The participant can account for how things are done or can explain how a piece of equipment or a tool is used .
The participant can test the applicability of the skill and distinguish between relevant and less relevant situations to apply the skill in.
The participant can act independently, is able to identify connections and
risks in work-related situations and take initiative and
responsibility for feasible mitigating actions on the job.
The participant can describe a topic, name its constituent parts or simply refer to it. Basic knowledge is observed by a one- dimensional objective: “I can tell a fact”.
Basic cognitive and practical skills required to apply relevant instructions and procedures to solve routine problems using simple rules and tools.
The participant can act independently in familiar work situations.
The taxonomy levels in the learning objectives are defined by a reasonable number of precise and explained action-verbs. 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 take responsibility and even assist fellow workers on the work site.

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 brackets (e.g. Skills, intermediate level).
6.3 Summary of the learning objectives
A specific action verb indicates a taxonomic complexity level that calls for specific learning activities for the participant to reach the decided learning objectives.
During the learning activity the participant shall practice doing what the action verb indicates.
In additio n to this, the instructor’s evaluation in action as well as the evaluation at the end of a module or a training becomes transparent when the participant’s ability to meet the learning objectives is assessed by comparing the participant’s performance with t he action verbs and contents of the learning objective.
