Basic safety training partial online refresher V01
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.
