Technical Training
Basic Technical Training Standard/ V9 2024-06-24
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 Basic Technical Training modules that are recommended and endorsed by the members of GWO. The Standard comprises of five modules:
1.
Mechanical
2.
Electrical
3.
Hydraulic
4.
Bolt Tightening
5.
Installation
This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable basic technical 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. GWO members agree that everyone working on one of their properties (wind turbine generators, sub stations, etc.) shall complete Basic Technical Training courses and subsequent company specific training relevant for their assignments. All work shall be done in teams of at least two competent persons. Exemptions from the above can be made based on internal company rules.
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 BASIC TECHNICAL TRAINING
Upon completion of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Basic Technical Training (BTT), participants will possess an awareness of the hazards encountered when working on hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, and installation systems, and when working with energy powered bolt tightening and how to control and mitigate these hazards, preparing candidates for working both on and offshore in the wind power industry. These training modules can be delivered independently of one another or as stand-alone training. The bolt tightening and installation modules are not part of the mandatory BTT training, and it is up to the duty holder to decide if this should be mandatory training.
5.1 Overview
The GWO Basic Technical Training is divided into the following 5 modules:
