Service Lift Training Standard / V4
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.

5. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SERVICE LIFT TRAINING Upon completion of the GWO Service Lift User Module training (SLU), 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 Service 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 Service Lift Inspection and Maintenance Module training (SLIM), participants will be aware of the risks and hazards encountered when inspecting and maintaining lifts within the wind industry. Furthermore, they will be able to control and mitigate those risks and hazards. The GWO Service Lift Inspection 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. Upon completion of the GWO Service Lift Installation, Inspection and Repair Module (SLIIR), 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 Service Lift Installation, Inspection and Repair 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 Service Lift Training 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 use, operate, inspect, maintain, install, repair, and evacuate a lift in a WTG. The GWO Service Lift Training Standard takes a generic approach to the variability of different lift types and systems. Taking the initiative and following additional relevant guidance, such as given in manuals, is a implicit part of the learning objectives of this standard.
Furthermore, induction and familiarisation with local relevant lift equipment may be required by the operator and local legislation.
