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 lift training courses that are recommended by the members of GWO. This standard comprises of three modules:

Lift User Module

Lift Commission and Inspection Module

Lift Commission, Inspection, Installation and Maintenance Module

The members of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) recognise trained persons as competent within use, inspection, installation and maintenance of lifts in the wind industry and accept the trained person as possessing the required abilities to use, commission, inspect, install, maintain, and evacuate a lift where they as duty-holders are accountable for safety. This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable lift 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 LIFT TRAINING Upon completion of the GWO Lift User Module training (LU), participants will be aware of the risks and hazards encountered in the use of lifts within the wind industry. Furthermore, they will be able to control and mitigate those risks and hazards. The GWO Lift User Module training will also equip participants with the ability to take responsibility and 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. Upon completion of the GWO Lift Commission and Inspection Module training (LCI), participants will be aware of the risks and hazards encountered when doing commissioning inspections of lifts within the wind industry. Furthermore, they will be able to control and mitigate those risks and hazards. The GWO Lift Commission and Inspection Module training will also equip participants with the ability to take responsibility and 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. Upon completion of the GWO Lift Commission, Inspection, Installation and Maintenance training Module (LCIIM), participants will be aware of the risks and hazards encountered when doing commissioning, inspection, installation, and maintenance of lifts within the wind industry. Furthermore, they will be able to control and mitigate those risks and hazards. The GWO Lift Commission, Inspection, Installation and Maintenance Module training will also equip participants with the ability to take responsibility and 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 Overview The GWO Lift Standard’s modules are a mix of theoretical and practical elements focusing on developing the needed knowledge, skills, and abilities for a wind employee to operate, commission, inspect, install, maintain, and evacuate a lift in a WTG. The Lift Standard’s modules have a generic focus in relation to different lift types and systems, and the initiative and responsibility to follow guidance in relevant manuals when needed is a basic part of the learning objectives in these modules. 5.2 Target Group Target group for the Lift User Module training is personnel working on WTGs within the wind industry where the use of lifts is required for transportation of personnel and equipment inside the WTG. Target group for the Lift Commission and Inspection Module training is personnel working on WTGs within the wind industry who shall inspect the installation and functioning of lifts in a WTG for the purpose of commissioning of the lift. Target group for the Lift Commission, Inspection, Installation and Maintenance Module training is personnel working on WTGs within the wind industry by commissioning, inspecting, installing, and doing maintaining work on lifts in a WTG. 5.3 Validity Period The Lift Standard trainings are enduring qualifications and therefore a validity period does not apply to these trainings. This assumes that the participant is actively working with the use, inspection, installation, and maintenance respectively of lifts. 5.4 Aims and Objectives Training in accordance with this Lift Standard will enable participants to take responsibility to support and care for themselves and others while operating and working on a lift in the wind industry.

The Lift User Module is aimed at using a lift in the wind industry.

The Lift Commission and Inspection Module is aimed at inspection and testing a lift in the wind industry after pre- assembly in the WTG. The Lift Commission, Inspection, Installation and Maintenance Module is aimed at doing commissioning, inspection, installing, and maintaining work on a lift in a WTG. These aims are fulfilled when the participants possess the required knowledge, skills, and abilities to conduct assigned tasks and operations in a lift safely and efficiently.

A prerequisite for being able to do this is that the relevant manuals and guides are at hand and used at all times.

5.7 Participant Prerequisites All personnel participating must meet the participant prerequisites described in the GWO Requirements for Training. 5.8 Instructor Qualification Prerequisites A competent GWO Lift Standard instructor must adhere to the instructor requirements for GWO training. 6. USING THIS STANDARD TO DEVELOP TRAINING The training in this standard is designed around the GWO taxonomy described in the GWO Requirements for Training. Theoretical and practical activities must be delivered according to the defined taxonomic level in order to reach the described learning objectives. When teaching about equipment, a generic approach to shall be applied aiming to avoid additional potential product specific formal training after completion of this training. However, national or regional legislation, company gap analysis and location specific risk assessments may require additional product specific familiarisation which is the responsibility of the duty holder. In addition to this, all training based on this standard including all related resources shall, as a minimum, meet the requirements described in the GWO Requirements for Training.
