4. SCOPE The COVID-19 viral pandemic has caused widespread disruption globally and has, in many regions, prevented technicians from attending GWO refresher training leading to a safety risk imposed through skills and knowledge fade within the wind industry To mitigate against the fading of skills and knowledge amongst technicians GWO have analysed the basic safety refresher modules and released this interim standard as a way for already trained technicians to continue to work safely by enabling the technicians on site to practise the knowledge and skills that they have learned during GWO training and apply this to their daily work tasks This analysis has indicated that there are some learning objectives and elements in the domain of knowledge and skills where the knowledge fade can potentially be mitigated through attending online live training sessions This standard describes the requirements for basic safety training partial refresher courses that are recommended by the members of GWO. This full standard covers parts of the following five modules:

First Aid

Manual Handling

Fire Awareness

Working at Height

Sea Survival

GWO has assessed that the objectives and elements contained in the partial modules, as described in sections 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13 of this document, can be fully delivered during online training sessions using technologies that allow real time video conferencing The members of Global Wind Organisation (GWO) recognise trained persons as competent within basic safety in the wind industry and accept the trained person as possessing the required knowledge to stop an unsafe work situation where they as duty-holders are accountable for safety. Training is verified through the GWO database WINDA

This standard has been developed by the GWO Training Committee

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 4.1 Target Group Personnel who will be working in the wind industry or related fields and will have their duties in a wind turbine environment, usually in physical contact with a wind turbine or an offshore wind structure Personnel that perform job functions that has been risk assessed by their employer or their workplace duty holder as a function where knowledge of and practical skills in first aid, manual handling, fire awareness, working at heights and sea survival may mitigate the identified risks

Training providers may issue other additional proof of training like paper certificates or plastic cards. If the training provider chooses to do so, it is recommended (not a requirement) to include the participants WINDA ID

7. 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 safety 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 8. DELIVERY AND ASSESSMENT IN A VIRTUAL CLASS ENVIRONMENT 8.1 Aims and Objectives The aims of the partial refresher modules described in this document are to reduce the risks of injury arising from knowledge and skills fade in the wind industry. Furthermore, this training will enable the course participants to provide evidence that they have undergone training to refresh key knowledge and skills with the aim that they can apply the knowledge to other skills With this aim in mind, it is important that the instructors who deliver these modules encourage the participants to reflect on how this knowledge can be applied in their daily work situation as well as in emergency situations like first aid scenarios, a fire, the rescue of a colleague or a sea survival situation in a wind turbine or the wind industry 8.2 Course Participant Engagement Delivering training in the virtual classroom environment differs from traditional in person delivery in many ways one of the challenges inherent in this type of training is the involvement and engagement of the participants in the training In the lesson elements there are more group discussions than in other GWO standards and this is to encourage interaction between the instructor and the participants and between the participants with the aim that the participants be involved with and engaged in the training thereby increasing their motivation and learning retention Where the lesson elements do not specifically state that the instructor shall lead a discussion, it is recommended that the instructor uses the flipped classroom technique to engage and encourage the participants to learn through self- discovery In some elements it is stated that the instructor must show an example of something or demonstrate a skill, wherever possible and safe this should be a live demonstration with physical examples of the equipment being shown or demonstrated. In these cases, it is recommended that the participants be encouraged, to the extent possible, to talk the instructor through the skill being demonstrated

13 / 151

Safety training

Basic Safety Training Online Partial Refresher / V3 2023-05-02

Training material design should be carefully considered and traditional tools like slideware should be created with the specific aim of supporting the instructor rather than as the main delivery tool for the lesson. During the training session the instructor should consider the benefits of live video conferencing as a means of training delivery and a more human interaction for the participants Even with increased interaction between instructors and participants and the above recommendations, long periods of online training can be particularly draining for both. It is therefore recommended that the instructor schedules frequent short breaks into the overall training session 8.3 Operationalising This Standard In each module the lessons are laid out as follows:

Section

Description and Guidance

LESSON 1 – XX

Name of the lesson.

Expected duration of the lesson to enable the participants to reach the learning objectives.

XX min.

The aims of the lesson 1) Learning objectives

The overall aim of the lesson.

The objectives that the participant must satisfy in order to pass the lesson. These are how the instructor shall assess the participants abilities in each lesson. For clarity in this standard these are not repeated in the lesson elements. The name of the element. For ease of reading these are aligned with the learning objectives. The actions that the instructor must take to facilitate and guide the participant the reaching the applicable learning objectives.

ELEMENT 1.1

The instructor shall: 1.1.1 XX

Table 8.3.1 - GWO BSTR-P lesson section descriptions

8.4 Equipment in the Virtual Classroom It is assumed that for the delivery of these lessons and elements that the instructor will be sited in a training facility with all the equipment that is required for delivery of the full module available Assessment of the participants skills requires them to have the applicable equipment available with which to demonstrate skills. In order to facilitate this the participants should be situated on a site and this requirement must be communicated to the participant will in advance of the planned training session

The equipment for each module is listed in Annex 1 of this document

8.5 Assessment of Learning Objectives The learning objectives in each lesson are the criteria by which the instructor shall assess if the participant is capable of the stated objective. Unlike previous GWO standards these objectives have not been repeated in the lesson elements

14 / 151

Safety training

Basic Safety Training Online Partial Refresher / V3 2023-05-02

In each learning objective the taxonomy action verb is highlighted in bold text and following each learning objective an indicator of the taxonomical level and domain has been added e.g. (knowledge, intermediate level). Where doubt exists between the action verb and the taxonomy indicator the instructor should consider the indicator as correct Learning objectives within the domain of knowledge can be delivered and assessed in a similar way to how they would in a live, in person training session through dialogue and questions from the instructor Learning objectives within the domain of skill and ability require that the course participants can demonstrate an ability in a scenario that is like a real work situation. In addition to safety aspects, demonstration by course participants involves body motor functions, spatial understanding and tactile elements. Therefore, the instructor must pay special attention to these aspects when assessing these objectives during a virtual classroom training Within the modules described in this document certain skill objectives have been omitted, compared to the full refresher modules, where these present a safety concern for the participants Other skill objectives have been included these include things like pre-use inspections of equipment and manual handling techniques which are relatively simple to assess using existing technology like web cams and smartphones Where these are included, the instructor must assess these skills using a live video link where they can see the participant demonstrating and hear the participant explaining each step of the skill being assessed Where there is doubt in the instructor’s mind about the participants ability to perform the skill the instructor must ask to see the demonstration again 8.6 Participant Performance Assessment Form An example course participant performance assessment form is provided GWO’s Requirements for Training. The instructor may adapt the form to other media The instructor should keep an assessment form (or adaptation) for each participant until the completion or evaluation of the BSTR-P module The participant performance assessment form (or adaption) is a final evaluation tool for the instructors to assess participants during practical elements. It allows measurement of the number of violations regarding safety, competency, or ability It shall be used as a progressive evaluation tool to discuss the performance of a participant in guiding them to success and it also serves as supporting documentation if a participant passes or fails the module. If a participant fails to meet the demands of the BSTR-P module, they shall attend a new BSTR-P module
