Basic Technical Training Standard / V11 10032026
4. SCOPE
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.
This standard describes the requirements for Basic Technical Training modules that are recommended and endorsed by the members of GWO. The Standard comprises of the following modules:
1.
Mechanical
2.
Electrical
3.
Hydraulic
4.
Bolt Tightening
5.
Installation Mechanical
6.
Installation Electrical
7.
Hazardous Energies Basic Safety
This standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable basic technical 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. GWO members agree that everyone working on one of their sites (wind turbine generators, sub stations, etc.) shall complete Basic Technical Training courses and subsequent company specific training relevant for their assignments.
All work should 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 BASIC TECHNICAL TRAINING
Upon completion of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Basic Technical Training (BTT), participants will possess an awareness of the hazards encountered when working on hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, and installation systems, and when working with energy powered bolt tightening and how to control and mitigate these hazards, preparing candidates for working both on and offshore in the wind power industry.
