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:
1.
Service Lift User Module (SLU)
a.
Pre-use inspection
b.
Operation of the lift
c.
Evacuation from the lift
2.
Service Lift Inspection and Maintenance Module (SLIM)
a. Initial inspections for the purpose of commissioning, including testing
b.
General required inspections
c.
Inspections after replacement of main components
d. Maintenance in accordance with local legislation, manuals and WTG owners’ and operators’ requirements
e.
Trace and correct faults
3.
Service Lift Installation, Inspection and Repair Module (SLIIR)
a.
Installation
b.
Repair major components
c.
Troubleshooting/Trace and correct faults
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 service 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.
