Enhanced First Aid Refresher Training / V5 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 enhanced first aid training that are recommended by the members of GWO. The standard comprises of one module. GWO recognises trained persons as competent within EFA in the wind industry. GWO accepts the trained person as possessing the required knowledge, skills, and abilities to provide ongoing care to a sick or injured casualty over a short period of time while waiting for professional emergency rescue teams to arrive. This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable Enhanced First Aid refresher (EFA-R) training in the industry and has been prepared in co-operation between the members of GWO based on risk assessments, in-depth descriptions of job roles and tasks relevant to Enhanced First Aid in the wind industry as well as factual incident and accident statistics from G+ and the wind industry. Training is verified through GWO’s WINDA database. 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 ENHANCED FIRST AID REFRESHER 5.1 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 make up the target group. Personnel that are selected by their employer to perform Enhanced First Aid onshore or offshore, where training according to the GWO Enhanced First Aid training may enable them to react to incidents and thus mitigate the results of casualties deriving from the identified risks. The Annex 2 - EFA Guideline: Recommendations has been developed to assist employers in determining who and how many should take the training. 5.2 Aims and Objectives The EFA-R training shall enable participants to support and care for others working in the industry by possessing the knowledge, skills, and ability of enhanced first aid. Upon completion of the GWO EFA-R training, participants will be able to administer safe, effective, and immediate lifesaving and enhanced first aid measures to save life and give assistance in remote areas using advanced emergency equipment and medical teleconsultation.
