The GWO Basic training, alle modules is designed to provide personnel with the basic skills that will enable them to work in a safe manner in the wind industry and to meet emergency response training requirements for personnel new to the global wind industry. It is designed to
accommodate personnel working both onshore and offshore.
The target group for this training is personnel working in the wind industry or related fields.
Prerequisites
Delegates must be demonstrably medically fit and capable of fully participating.
Delegates may not exceed the weight limit of 124kg due to the weight limitations of the
equipment which is used during the training.
Objective
In the 5 day Basic Training delegates learn the GWO Working at Heights, First Aid, Manual Handling, Fire Awareness and Sea Survival into a single 6 day scenario orientated training.
In WTG relevant scenarios delegates will experience the correlation between the various safety training aspects (e.g. how to prepare for survival at sea when needing to evacuate a nacelle because a fire has started).
The objective for this training is to review and build on previously gained knowledge and skills through some theoretical but mostly scenario based practical training.
WINDA is the global database which is used by the Global Wind Organisation (GWO). WINDA
will make verification of training possible for training providers and employers. Delegates will
have ownership of their own training records in WINDA.
Participants will no longer be issued with paper certificates. RelyOnNutec will upload a
digital record of the GWO certificate in WINDA. If you are participating in a GWO training
course you must register for a delegate profile in WINDA. After registration you will receive a
WINDA ID. You need this WINDA ID to book the training. Without a WINDA ID we are not able
to produce certificates.
