Task Risk Assessment (TRA) for Wind Energy

Personnel who will be working in the wind industry or related fields, and will carry out their duties in a wind turbine environment, usually in physical contact with a wind turbine or offshore wind structure. Personnel that perform job functions that have been risk assessed by their employer or workplace, where training according to one or more modules of the BST standard may mitigate the identified risks.

No prerequisites are required to sit this course.

The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of the TRA process within the wind energy industry. You will learn about how to identify all hazards associated with the task, what a TRA is, how and when it should be carried out, and the responsibilities of each person within the process.
