Slinger Signaller Standard / V4 2023-05-02
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 slinger signaller training that are recommended by the members of GWO. Additional training may be required for company or country-specific reasons. The standard comprises of one module. GWO recognises trained persons as competent within slinger signalling in the wind industry. GWO accepts the trained person as possessing the required knowledge, skills, and abilities to stop an unsafe work situation where they, as duty holders, are accountable for safety. This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable slinger signaller 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 slinger signalling in the wind industry, as well as factual incident and accident statistics from G+ and the wind industry. Training is verified through GWO’s WINDA database. 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 GWO SLINGER SIGNALLER Upon completion of the GWO Slinger Signaller Standard (SLS), participants will be aware of the risks and hazards encountered when working with slinger signalling within the wind industry. Furthermore, they will be able to control and mitigate those risks and hazards. The GWO Slinger Signaller Standard training will also equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and ability to appropriately respond in the event of a hazardous situation and to increase their safety through proper use of personal protective equipment, emergency equipment, procedures, and safe craftsmanship. 5.1 Target Group Personnel working within the wind industry conducting slinging techniques and signalling during simple lifting operations, meaning lifts conducted based on a lifting plan covering known hazards. 5.2 Aims and Strategic Objectives Training in accordance with this standard will enable participants to take responsibility to support and care for themselves and others while working with slinger signalling in the wind industry by possessing the required knowledge, skills, and ability to conduct assigned tasks safely and efficiently.
