2. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

Term

Definition

Additional fall protection

Describes the use of an independent, additional suitable fall protection system in conjunction with a primary fall protection system. Typically, used during training to provide fall protection to participants as they learn to use fall protection equipment. Additional fall protection may sometimes be referred to as a “backup”. The additional fall protection system should be chosen in such a way that it will not hinder the exercise. Preferably this additional fall protection is not even noticeable by the participant. This means that a risk is identified and controlled to a lower level weighted against the effort, time and money needed to control it.

As low as reasonably practicable

Preventing the user of a personal fall protection system from colliding with the ground, structure, or any other obstacle during a free fall.

Fall arrest

Fall arrest system Fall prevention

Personal fall protection system which limits the impact force on the body of the user during fall arrest

Preventing the user of a personal fall protection system from going into a free fall

Must

For clarity where the word must is used in this standard it shall have the same meaning as shall

Personal fall protection system

Assembly of components intended to protect the user against falls from height, including a body holding device and an attachment system, which can be connected to a reliable anchorage point

Rescue system

Personal fall protection system by which a person can rescue themselves or others, in such a way that a free fall is prevented Personal fall protection system which prevents the user from reaching zones where the risk of a fall from height exists Verbal form used to indicate requirements strictly to be followed in order to conform to this training standard and from which no deviation is permitted

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 Safety Training Refresher courses that are recommended by the members of GWO. The full standard covers six modules:

First Aid

Manual Handling

Fire Awareness

Working at Height

Working at Height & Manual Handling Combined

Sea Survival

The members of the 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 situation where they as duty-holders are accountable for safety.

8 / 129

Safety training

Basic Safety Refresher Training / V12 2023-05-02

This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable safety 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 GWO BST REFRESHER Upon completion of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Basic Safety Training Refresher (BSTR) participants will possess an awareness of the hazards encountered when working within the wind industry and how to control and mitigate these hazards. The BSTR will also equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to appropriately respond in the event of an emergency and to increase their safety through proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), emergency equipment and procedures. The approved GWO Basic Safety Training Refresher (BSTR) refreshes, reviews and builds on participants existing skills and tools obtained during BST Module courses, which include Fire Awareness, First Aid, Working at Heights, and Manual Handling Modules. To enable participants to work in the offshore environment, an additional GWO Sea Survival Module training shall be completed. 5.1 Overview The GWO Basic Safety Training Refresher is divided into the following six modules:

Module 1:

First Aid Refresher

Module 2:

Manual Handling Refresher

Module 3:

Fire Awareness Refresher

Module 4:

Working at Heights Refresher

Module 5:

Working at Heights and Manual Handling Combined refresher

Module 6:

Sea Survival Refresher

Module 5, Working at Heights & Manual Handling Combined Refresher is a combined module comprising the lessons and elements from both the Working at Heights Module and the Manual Handling Module and is intended to be delivered in one day. The Working at Height & Manual Handling Combined Module can be delivered instead of the two standalone modules. Where the combined module is delivered then the participants shall receive two training records one for working at height and one for manual handling.
