Operations training
High Voltage Standard / V1 02072025
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. Development of a GWO High Voltage Standard will enhance safety in the wind industry, improve competence and standardisation, improve industry collaboration and enhance the GWO portfolio to meet industry demands. This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable high voltage training in the industry and has been prepared in cooperation 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 high voltage training courses relevant for their assignments. All work shall be done in teams of at least two competent persons. Exemptions from the above can be made based on internal company rules.
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.
5. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HIGH VOLTAGE STANDARD Upon completion of the High Voltage Modules, participants will be able to support work related to high voltage equipment and systems as per the specific module focus area and detailed topics within.
5.1 Overview
The GWO High Voltage Standard is divided into the following 2 modules:
Module 1: High Voltage Operations Module 2: High Voltage Cable Pulling
5.2 Target Groups
Target Groups - High Voltage Operations The training target audience includes workers required to operate and make safe high voltage equipment and systems, under a documented safe system of work, including commissioning technicians and service technicians, both onshore and offshore. Target Groups - High Voltage Cable Pulling The training target audience includes workers required to perform or supervise high voltage cable pulling operations, including offshore pre-assembly technicians, as well as installation technicians and service technicians completing replacement of HV cable, both onshore and offshore.
