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.
This standard describes the requirements for Basic Safety Training Standard courses that are recommended by the members of GWO. The full standard comprises of six modules:
1.
First Aid
2.
Manual Handling
3.
Fire Awareness
4.
Working at Heights
5.
Working at heights & Manual handling combined
6.
Sea Survival
The members of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) recognise 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 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 based on risk assessments and 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.
5. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BASIC SAFETY TRAINING Upon completion of the Basic Safety Training modules, participants will be able to possess an awareness of the hazards encountered when working within the wind industry and how to control and mitigate these hazards. The BST will also equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence 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. The approved GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) provides participants with important skills, which include fire awareness, first aid, working at heights, and manual handling. To enable participants to work in the offshore environment, an additional GWO Sea Survival Module training shall be completed.
