Basic Safety Training Standard

The aim of the First Aid Initial Training is to enable participants, through theoretical and practical training, to recognise signs and symptoms of life threating situations and administer safe and effective first aid in the wind turbine industry/WTG environment in order to save lives and prevent further injury, until the casualty can be handed over to the next level of care.

The aim of this training is to refresh the participants prior knowledge, skills, and abilities to enable participants, through practical training, to recognise signs and symptoms of life threating situations and administer safe and effective first aid in the wind turbine industry or WTG environment.

The aim of the Manual Handling Initial Training is to enable participants, through theoretical and practical training, to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries for wind technicians in the wind industry and enable participants to perform their tasks and activities in the safest possible way when working in a wind turbine environment.

After having successfully completed Manual Handling Initial Training, the participants will have the ability to take responsibility for the use of essential manual handling principles to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury when performing physical tasks and activities in the wind industry (Ability, intermediate level)

The aim of this training is to refresh the participants prior experiences, knowledge, skills, and abilities to enable participants, through practical training, to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries for wind technicians in the wind industry and enable participants to perform their tasks and activities in the safest possible way when working in a wind turbine environment.

The aim of this training is to enable the participants to prevent fires, make appropriate judgements when evaluating a fire, manage evacuation of personnel and ensure all are safely accounted for in the event of an unmanageable fire. If the incident is judged to be safe, the participants should be able to efficiently extinguish an initial fire by using basic handheld firefighting equipment.

The aim of this training is to refresh the participants prior experiences, knowledge, skills, and abilities to enable participants, through practical training to prevent fires, make appropriate judgements when evaluating a fire, manage evacuation of personnel and ensure all are safely accounted for in the event of an unmanageable fire. If the incident is judged to be safe, the participants should be able to efficiently extinguish an initial fire by using basic handheld firefighting equipment.

The aim of this training is to enable participants, through both theoretical and practical training, to use personal protective equipment, work safely at height, and perform basic rescue operations from height in a remote wind turbine environment.

The aim of this Working at Height Refresher Training is to review and build on previously gained knowledge, skills, and abilities through practical training so that participants can use basic personal protective equipment and perform safe work at heights and safe and comprehensive basic rescue from heights in the wind turbine industry environment.

The aims of Sea Survival Initial Training are to give, by theoretical and practical training, participants the ability to act safely and responsibly and to take the correct preventive actions in all aspects of offshore operations from shore to installation vessel (or WTG) and vice versa. This is both during normal operations and in an offshore wind energy environment emergency.
