GWO Training

Global Wind Organization (GWO) courses are a series of training programmes designed specifically for workers in the wind industry. These courses have been developed to ensure that people working in the construction, operation and maintenance of wind farms have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their work safely and efficiently. Here is an overview of some of the most common courses offered by GWO:

Basic Wind Industry Safety Course (GWO BST): This is the foundation course and covers a series of modules including first aid, fire fighting, offshore survival, working at heights and manual handling. It provides a solid foundation in safety for working on wind farms.
Advanced Height Rescue Course (GWO ART): This course focuses on height rescue techniques, which are essential in the wind industry due to the nature of tower and wind turbine operations. Participants learn how to perform safe and effective rescues in elevated environments.
Advanced First Aid Course (GWO FA): Focuses on providing first aid skills specific to situations that may occur in a wind farm. Participants learn how to respond to injuries and medical emergencies in an industrial and isolated environment.

Advanced Fire Fighting Course (GWO FAW): This course focuses on the prevention and extinguishing of wind farm fires. Participants learn how to use fire fighting equipment and how to respond appropriately in case of fire.
Advanced Sea Survival Course (GWO Sea Survival): Designed for workers who may be exposed to emergency situations at sea while working on offshore wind farms. Participants learn survival, rescue and evacuation techniques in offshore environments.

These are just a few examples of the courses offered by GWO. The organisation may also have additional courses and updates to adapt to the changing needs of the wind industry. Safety is a priority in the wind industry due to the challenging working conditions, and GWO courses play an important role in ensuring that workers are properly trained to deal with these conditions safely and effectively.
