Lift Standard / V3 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 lift training courses that are recommended by the members of GWO. This standard comprises of three modules:

1.

Lift User Module

2.

Lift Commission and Inspection Module

3.

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.
