Control of Hazardous Energies Standard / V3 2023-12-04

3.

CoHE Pressure Fluid Safety Module

Training is verified through GWO’s WINDA database.

This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable Control of Hazardous Energies (CoHE) training in the industry and has been prepared in co-operation between the members of GWO based on risk assessments, in-depth descriptions of job roles and tasks relevant to CoHE in the wind industry as well as factual incident and accident statistics from G+ and the wind industry.

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.

7. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE GWO COHE MODULES

7.1 Overview

The GWO CoHE Training standard is divided into the following 3 modules:

Module 1: CoHE Basic Safety Module 2: CoHE Electrical Safety Module 3: CoHE Pressure Fluid Safety

7.2 Target Group

Target Group for the CoHE Basic Safety Module This module is targeted at candidates working in the wind industry where they are exposed to the risk of injury related to hazardous energies. Target Group for the CoHE Electrical Safety Module This module is targeted at candidates whose scope of work will involve performing isolations and testing for the absence of voltage (in accordance with existing documentation) to be able to safely carry out specific tasks like component replacement, servicing and planned corrective maintenance on low voltage 1 electrical systems. Additionally, this person will also be responsible for establishing an electrically safe work condition, as e.g. a Qualified Electrical Person (NFPA 70E), Electrical Skilled Person (EN50110), Authorized Technician (WTSR), to enable others to work safely on low voltage electrical systems.

Note

The GWO CoHE Electrical Safety Module and Pressure Fluid Safety Module are aimed towards improving the candidates´ ability to “work safely” with electricity and fluids under pressure. This means that the two modules are not aimed at improving candidates´ technical knowledge, skills and abilities regarding electricity or pressure fluid systems. Candidates should already possess these technical knowledge, skills, and abilities before attending the modules. Similarly, it is not the intention of the GWO CoHE Standard (or these two modules) to promote the acquisition of advanced knowledge, such as troubleshooting.
