Control of Hazardous Energies Refresher / V4 02052025
Lastly, the members of GWO also strongly emphasise that company specific rules and procedures along with national and regional legislation shall always be looked up and followed when working in the wind industry. This is because CoHE rules, procedures and requirements can vary depending on: national and regional legislation; company approach and WTG model.
The standard comprises of three modules:
1.
CoHE Basic Safety Refresher
2.
CoHE Electrical Safety Refresher
3.
CoHE Pressure Fluid Safety Refresher
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) refresher 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 REFRESHER STANDARD
7.1 Target Group
Target Group for the CoHE Basic Safety Refresher 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 Electrical Safety Refresher 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), Authorised Technician (WTSR), to enable others to work safely on low voltage electrical systems.
The GWO Electrical Safety Refresher Module and Pressure Fluid Safety Refresher Module are aimed towards improving the candidates´ ability to “work safely” with electricity and fluids under
Note
1 Low voltage as defined and classified by local legislation
