Target group
Personnel who will be working in the wind industry specifically in relation to composite inspection and repair work. Personnel that perform job functions that have been risk assessed by their employer or their workplace duty holder as a function, where composite work training according to this standard may mitigate some of the identified hazards and risks.
Aims and strategic objectives
Training in accordance with this standard will enable participants to support and care for themselves and others working in the wind industry by possessing the knowledge and skills of composite inspection and repair work. Upon completion of the GWO Blade repair training course, participants will be able to work safely with composite materials while conducting inspection and basic blade repair procedures, thereby supporting an overall improvement of the safety for personnel with job functions focussing on composite repair work and inspection in the wind industry.
Guidance on delivering lesson elements
Section 10.4 gives the approximate duration of each of the lessons. The training provider may choose to deliver elements of the training according to other timetables, provided that the total duration is not reduced, and the duration of practical elements is not reduced in length. Theoretical elements should be delivered during the practical exercises whenever feasible.
Validity Period
The blade repair training is an enduring qualification and therefore a validity period does not apply to this training. This assumes that the participants are actively working with composite inspection and repair.
