First release
4. SCOPE Global Wind Organisation is a member-led non-profit body. Our members strive for an injury free work environment in the wind turbine industry and Solar PV industry, setting common international standards for safety training and emergency procedures. The Global Solar Council is a non-profit trade body uniting the voice of the solar industry, representing every part of the solar PV value chain across the world. We work directly with industry associations, private sector, governments, international institutions and NGOs to advocate, educate, and strengthen the solar industry.
This standard describes the requirements for Solar Safety Training Modules that are recommended and endorsed by GSC and the members of GWO.
The Global Solar Council and the members of the Global Wind Organisation recognise trained persons as competent within safety in the utility scale Solar PV industry and accept the trained person as possessing the required knowledge to stop an unsafe situation where they as duty-holders are accountable for safety. This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable safety training in the industry and has been prepared in co-operation between the members of GWO and GSC based on risk assessments and factual incident and accident statistics. 5. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SOLAR SAFETY TRAINING Upon completion of the Solar Safety Training Modules, participants will possess an awareness of the hazards encountered when working within the utility scale Solar PV industry and be equipped to control and mitigate these hazards. The training will equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and abilities 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.
