GWO CoHE TRAINING STANDARD V0
6 S COPE
Global Wind Organisation is a non-profit body founded by 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. GWO training standards describe the requirements for training courses that are recommended by members of GWO. Hazardous energies pose a high risk of injury to all workers working within the wind industry. One of the reasons for this is that hazardous energies are found in various forms within the wind turbine environment and within the environment of a wind farm. Therefore, this standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognizable Control of Hazardous Energies (CoHE) Training in the wind industry and has been created in co-operation between members of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) based on risk assessments, in-depth descriptions of job-roles and tasks relevant to CoHE in the wind industry and factual incident and accident statistics pertaining to the installation, commissioning, service and maintenance of wind turbine generators and wind power plants. This CoHE training standard describes training that complements company, turbine, regional and equipment specific CoHE trainings by providing a common basis for CoHE trainings that are recommended by the members of GWO but does not automatically qualify the participants . These nominations can only be granted according to company specific trainings, rules and procedures along with national and regional legislation. Lastly, the members of GWO also strongly emphasise that company specific rules and procedures along with national and regional legislation shall always be looked up and followed when working in the wind industry. This is because CoHE rules, procedures and requirements can vary depending on: national and regional legislation; company approach and WTG model.
The standard comprises of three modules:
Basic Safety CoHE.
•
Electrical Safety.
•
Pressure Fluid Safety.
•
Training is verified through GWO’s WINDA database.
This standard has been developed by the GWO Training Committee. Disputes and potential non- conformities should be brought to the attention of the GWO Audit and Compliance Committee.
