ABEEÓLICA GUIDELINE FOR SAFETY AND PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IN THE WIND INDUSTRY
V1
Scope Recognizing this challenge, ABEEólica and GWO have jointly identified a unique opportunity: the creation and publication of an industry-endorsed guideline for basic safety and technical training specifically tailored for wind professionals. Simultaneously, the guidelines seek to bridge the existing gaps between GWO's standards and the specific requirements of the Brazilian wind industry, thereby promoting a harmonious and effective integration of global best practices and local needs. The ultimate aim is to reduce duplication of training and enable new professionals to enter the industry quickly and safely. Methodology This guideline has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable training in the industry and has been prepared in co-operation between the members of ABEEólica and GWO based on Brazilian laws and regulations including the Regulatory Standards developed by the Ministry of Labor and Employment that are mandatory for all companies and workers in Brazil. As a collective body representing the largest employers in wind in Brazil, ABEEólica and GWO working in collaboration have the necessary scale and insight to provide clear guidance to the industry with reference to identified roles that are carried out by technicians within core components of the wind energy value chain. ABEEólica members support the completion of relevant training by all professionals working on wind turbines, in alignment with their respective roles. These guidelines were developed in response to requests from operators considering entering the wind power industry for the first time, as well as from overseas operators, regarding what type of work is first assigned to wind professionals. It was developed through the cooperation of ABEEólica members and GWO, based on training recognised in the wind power industry and Brazilian regulations. The needed NRs were agreed and then the content was reviewed line by line against GWO’s training standards to demonstrate how GWO’s global standards meet the requirements in Brazil and the standards required by industry leaders in Brazil. Reviewed Materials This guideline serves as an analysis of the equivalency between the requirements in Brazil and what is available in through standardized training. This analysis was completed with the member support of ABEEólica and the organisational support of GWO. NR 1.7.1 was referred to as a foundational document to guide the process and the analysis.
