Version 3 Updates
This version includes updates from the Working at Height review held in 2025 and aligns with the Working at Height module of the Basic Safety Training Standard Version 20.
Summary of Changes:
• Alignment of definitions and training language with the GWO BST Standard, GWO ART Standard and industry guidelines • Onshore Limited Access module updated ladder and anchor-point requirements: Reinforced ladder rungs can only be used as anchor points when clearly marked or specified in the turbine safety manual, which improves both clarity and safety. • Revised equipment list: updates including PPE items, anchor-point types, and clearer grouping for rescue and evacuation devices • Added clearer guidance on work positioning, evacuation techniques, and instructor observation to support competence and help reduce training-related incidents
