Enhanced First Aid Standard / V6 10032026
This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable Enhanced First Aid training in the industry and has been prepared in co-operation between the members of GWO based on risk assessments and factual incident and accident statistics from G+ and the wind industry.
Training is verified through GWO´s WINDA database.
GWO members agree that everyone working on one of their properties (wind turbine generators, sub stations, etc.) shall complete Enhanced First Aid training courses relevant for their assignments. All work shall be done in teams of at least two competent persons. Exemptions from the above can be made based on internal company rules.
General feedback on this document can be sent to info@globalwindsafety.org. See globalwindsafety.org on how to raise a complaint about a training provider or report a safety incident occurring during training.
5. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE GWO ENHANCED FIRST AID
