Description of changes
• Section 6. Scope: Modification of old text: 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. 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. This CoHE Refresher Standard describes refresher 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:
CoHE Basic Safety Refresher
CoHE Electrical Safety Refresher
CoHE Pressure Fluid Safety Refresher
Training is verified through GWO’s WINDA database.
This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable Control of Hazardous Energies (CoHE) refresher 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 CoHE in the wind industry as well as factual incident and accident statistics from G+ and the wind industry.
