The COVID-19 viral pandemic has caused widespread disruption globally and has, in many regions, prevented technicians from attending GWO refresher training leading to a safety risk imposed through skills and knowledge fade within the wind industry. To mitigate against the fading of skills and knowledge amongst technicians GWO have analysed the basic safety refresher modules and released this INTERIM STANDARD as a way for already trained technicians to continue to work safely by enabling the technicians on site to practice the knowledge and skills that they have learned during GWO training and apply this to their daily work tasks. This analysis has indicated that there are some learning objectives and elements in the domains of knowledge and skills where the knowledge fade can potentially be mitigated through attending online live training sessions.

4 S COPE
The COVID-19 viral pandemic has caused widespread disruption globally and has, in many regions, prevented technicians from attending GWO refresher training leading to a safety risk imposed through skills and knowledge fade within the wind industry. To mitigate against the fading of skills and knowledge amongst technicians GWO have analysed the basic safety refresher modules and released this interim standard as a way for already trained technicians to continue to work safely by enabling the technicians on site to practice the knowledge and skills that they have learned during GWO training and apply this to their daily work tasks. This analysis has indicated that there are some learning objectives and elements in the domain of knowledge and skills where the knowledge fade can potentially be mitigated through attending online live training sessions. This standard describes the requirements for basic safety training partial refresher courses that are recommended by the members of GWO. This full standard covers parts of the following five modules:
First Aid
Manual Handling
Fire Awareness
Working at Height
Sea Survival
GWO has assessed that the objectives and elements contained in the partial modules, as described in sections 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13 of this document, can be fully delivered during online training sessions using technologies that allow real time video conferencing. The members of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) recognize trained persons as competent within Basic Safety in the wind industry and accept the trained person as possessing the required knowledge to stop an unsafe work situation where they as duty-holders are accountable for safety. Training is verified through the GWO database WINDA.
This standard has been developed by the GWO Training committee.
Disputes and potential non-conformities should be brought to the attention of the GWO Audit and compliance committee.
The standard has been approved by the GWO executive committee.

Basic safety training partial online refresher V01
4.1 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 has been risk assessed by their employer or their workplace duty holder as a function where knowledge of and practical skills in first aid, manual handling, fire awareness, working at heights and sea survival may mitigate the identified risks.
4.2 Aims and objectives
The aim of BSTR-P is to reduce the risk of injury in the wind industry by reviewing, refreshing and building on previously gained knowledge and skills from GWO BST initial or refresher training. The aims and objectives are achieved in a virtual online classroom through a combination of group discussions, individual explanations, theoretical and practical training that aim to enable the course participants to support and care for themselves and others working in the wind industry by being able to apply the knowledge skills and attitude of first aid, manual handling, fire awareness, working at heights and sea survival in their daily work and, in the case of an emergency, be able to evacuate, rescue and provide appropriate first aid to casualties.
4.3 Requirements for training providers
The GWO BSTR-P standard sets out minimum requirements.
The training provider shall identify whether national legislation sets additional requirements for basic safety training or prohibits delivery of certain elements. If so, the training provider shall incorporate these identified requirements in the training. To deliver any of the BSTR-P modules set forth in this standard the training provider shall already be certified and approved to deliver the equivalent full GWO BST and BSTR module(s). The training provider shall at all times conform with the current GWO criteria / requirements for training providers. Provided the minimum requirements of the BSTR-P are met the training provider may choose to incorporate delivery of other similar certified training.

7 U NDERSTANDING GWO LEARNING OBJECTIVES
7.1 Taxonomy
To formulate a measurable learning objective, taxonomy is used to describe the level of expected learning outcome within the learning domains of knowledge, skill and attitude. As an example, belonging to the learning domain of knowledge, to have a participant name or describe something, as opposed to have them explain it in their own words, or even apply or demonstrate what they have learned – describes different performance levels, i.e. different taxonomy levels.
Taxonomy action verbs and levels used in this GWO standard are based on the following:
Domain
Basis
GWO Level
Krathwohl’s “affective taxonomy” - Simpson’s “psychomotor taxonomy” -
Attitude
3
Attitude and feelings to the learning
Skill
2
3
Physical skills, cognitive controlled and observable
Bloom’s “cognitive taxonomy” -
Knowledge
1
2
Intellectual knowledge, mental skills and procedures
Table 7-1 - Taxonomical domains & levels used by GWO
Note:
Higher taxonomy levels exist.
7.2 Attitude
Level Action verb
Expected behaviour
3
Value
Demonstrates belief in a process, procedure or set of rules.
Specific examples
Value:
The instructor should present the topic in a positive way. For example, the principle of performing tasks in a safe manner. The participant demonstrates through their attitude to a task that they value the process or the rules and procedures behind the task. For example, the delegate will actively seek and use protective gloves in a given work situation.

Actively participates in discussions
Specific examples
Describe:
The instructor should present the topic at a basic, introductory level. This could be, for example, presenting the terminology used for a type of equipment, or a simple set of rules for an activity. The participant can answer simple questions about the topic, this could be by answering multiple choice questions. The instructor should present the topic at a more advanced level. This could be, for example, an explanation of how a piece of equipment or a tool works. The participant can answer in-depth questions about the topic, this could be by answering short answer questions or open questions posed by the instructor. The instructor should initiate a group discussion by asking an open question to the group and inviting the group to discuss the question. The instructor should ensure that all the group are actively engaged in the discussion. The participant will actively participate in the group discussion offering input and questioning input from other group members

8 D ELIVERY AND ASSESSMENT IN A VIRTUAL CLASS ENVIRONMENT
8.1 Aims and objectives
The aims of the partial refresher modules described in this document are to reduce the risks of injury arising from knowledge and skills fade in the wind industry. Furthermore, this training will enable the course participants to provide evidence that they have undergone training to refresh key knowledge and skills with the aim that they can apply the knowledge to other skills. With this aim in mind it is important that the instructors who deliver these modules encourage the participants to reflect on how this knowledge can be applied in their daily work situation as well as in emergency situations like first aid scenarios, a fire, the rescue of a colleague or a sea survival situation in a wind turbine or the wind industry.
8.2 Course participant engagement
Delivering training in the virtual classroom environment differs from traditional in person delivery in many ways one of the challenges inherent in this type of training is the involvement and engagement of the participants in the training. In the lesson elements there are more group discussions than in other GWO training standards and this is to encourage interaction between the instructor and the participants and between the participants with the aim that the participants be involved with and engaged in the training thereby increasing their motivation and learning retention. Where the lesson elements do not specifically state that the instructor shall lead a discussion, it is recommended that the instructor uses the flipped classroom technique to engage and encourage the participants to learn through self-discovery. In some elements it is stated that the instructor must show an example of something or demonstrate a skill, wherever possible and safe this should be a live demonstration with physical examples of the equipment being shown or demonstrated. In these cases, it is recommended that the participants be encouraged, to the extent possible, to talk the instructor through the skill being demonstrated. Training material design should be carefully considered and traditional tools like slideware should be created with the specific aim of supporting the instructor rather than as the main delivery tool for the lesson. During the training session the instructor should consider the benefits of live video conferencing as a means of training delivery and a more human interaction for the participants. Even with increased interaction between instructors and participants and the above recommendations, long periods of online training can be particularly draining for both. It is therefore recommended that the instructor schedules frequent short breaks into the overall training session.

Learning objectives.
The name of the element. For ease of reading these are aligned with the learning objectives
ELEMENT 1.1 - XX
The actions that the instructor must take to facilitate and guide the participant to reaching the applicable learning objectives.
XX
Table 8-3 – GWO BSTR-P Lesson section descriptions
8.4 Equipment in the virtual classroom
It is assumed that for the delivery of these lessons and elements that the instructor will be situated in a training facility with all the equipment that is required for delivery of the full module available. Assessment of the participants skills requires them to have the applicable equipment available with which to demonstrate the skills. In order to facilitate this the participants should be situated on a site and this requirement must be communicated to the participant well in advance of the planned training session.
The equipment for each module is listed in annex 3 of this document.
8.5 Assessment of learning objectives
The learning objectives in each lesson are the criteria by which the instructor shall assess if the participant is capable of the stated objective. Unlike previous GWO training standards these objectives have not been repeated in the lesson elements In each learning objective the taxonomy action verb is highlighted in bold text and following each learning objective an indicator of the taxonomical level and domain has been added e.g. (L2 – Knowledge). Where doubt exists between the action verb and the taxonomy indicator the instructor should consider the indicator as correct. Learning objectives within the domain of knowledge can be delivered and assessed in a similar way to how they would in a live, in person training session through dialogue and questions from the instructor.
Global Wind Organisation
www.globalwindsafety.org
17 / 116
Basic safety training partial online refresher V01
Learning objectives within the domain of skill and attitude require that the course participants can demonstrate an ability in a scenario that is like a real work situation. In addition to safety aspects, demonstration by course participants involves body motor functions, spatial understanding and tactile elements. Therefore, the instructor must pay special attention to these aspects when assessing these objectives during a virtual classroom training. Within the modules described in this document certain skill objectives have been omitted, compared to the full refresher modules, where these present a safety concern for the participants. Other skill objectives have been included these include things like pre-use inspections of equipment and manual handling techniques which are relatively simple to assess using existing technology like web cams and smartphones. Where these are included the instructor must assess these skills using a live video link where they can see the participant demonstrating and hear the participant explaining each step of the skill being assessed. Where there is doubt in the instructor’s mind about the participants ability to perform the skill the instructor must ask to see the demonstration again.
8.6 Participant performance assessment form
An example course participant performance assessment form is provided in annex 1. The instructor may adapt the form to other media. The instructor should keep an assessment form (or adaptation) for each participant until the completion or evaluation of the BSTR-P module. The participant performance assessment form (or adaption) is a final evaluation tool for the instructors to assess participants during practical elements. It allows measurement of the number of violations regarding safety, competency, or attitude. It shall be used as a progressive evaluation tool to discuss the performance of a participant in guiding them to success and it also serves as supporting documentation if a participant passes or fails the module. If a participant fails to meet the demands of the BSTR-P module, they shall attend a new BSTR-P module.
