GWO BST ONSHORE AND OFFSHORE

Global Wind Organization (GWO) courses are aimed primarily at workers and professionals who have roles in the wind industry. These courses are designed to provide the skills and knowledge necessary to perform their work safely and efficiently in both onshore and offshore wind farm environments. Typical recipients of GWO courses include:

1. Maintenance Technicians: These courses are essential for technicians who perform maintenance on wind turbines and other equipment in wind farms. They will learn work at height skills, rescue techniques, safety at work and first aid procedures specific to the wind industry.
2. Construction workers: People involved in wind farm construction, such as tower erectors, welders and crane operators, benefit from GWO training. They will learn how to perform their tasks safely and how to work at heights.
3. Wind farm operators and supervisors need knowledge of work safety, rescue procedures and first aid to ensure a safe and efficient working environment.
4. Search and rescue personnel: In wind farms, it is important to have personnel trained in high altitude rescue techniques and rescue from elevated environments. These GWO courses are designed to equip these people with the necessary skills to perform rescues safely.
5. Safety personnel: Safety professionals in the wind industry, including safety and occupational health managers, benefit from GWO training to understand and apply best safety practices in this specific work environment.
6. It is important to note that, due to the nature of the wind industry and its inherent risks, GWO training is a common requirement in many companies in the sector. In addition, some employers may require contractors and subcontractors working on wind projects to have GWO certifications to ensure the safety and competence of their personnel.
