4. 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 procedures. Lifting operations in the wind industry must be carried out safely according to company rules, national and local legislation, and manufacturers guidance. It is crucial that the individual crane operator takes the necessary responsibility to carry out lifting operations safely. This training standard will cover wind industry related lifting equipment and accessories of a size (e.g. 8 metric ton /metre) that do not require legal or formal licence to operate in the location of a wind farm (offshore and onshore). This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable generic Crane and Hoist 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 properties (wind turbine generators, sub stations, etc.) shall complete Crane and Hoist courses relevant for their assignments. General feedback on this document can be sent to info@globalwindsafety.org. See globalwindsafety.org on how to raise a complaint about a training provider or report a safety incident occurring during training.
