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 Safety Training Refresher courses that are recommended by the members of GWO. The full standard covers six modules:
1.
First Aid
2.
Manual Handling
3.
Fire Awareness
4.
Working at Height
5.
Working at Height & Manual Handling Combined
6.
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. 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.
