Hazardous energies pose a high risk of injury to all workers working within the wind industry. One of the reasons for this is that hazardous energies are found in various forms within the wind turbine environment and within the environment of a wind farm. Training in accordance with this GWO CoHE Refresher Standard will enable participants to manage the risks related to hazardous energies in the wind industry and act safely when in the vicinity of hazardous energies or when working on systems and equipment containing hazardous energies. This training standard should be read alongside GWO's Requirements for Training. The GWO CoHE Refresher Training Standard is divided into the following three modules:
The aim of this module is to enable the participants, through theoretical and practical training, to act safely while working in the vicinity of hazardous energies in the wind industry and be able to perform assigned tasks safely.
This module should be read alongside GWO's Requirements for Training. Download the Requirements for Training here.
The aim of this module is to enable the participants to support and care for themselves and others while working with and in the vicinity of electricity in the wind industry and to perform assigned tasks safely and efficiently. Upon successful completion of GWO’s Electrical Safety Refresher training module, the participants will be able to perform electrical work safely within the wind industry using electrical PPE, precautionary techniques, and electrical safety safe working practices to reduce electrical hazards. This module should be read alongside GWO's Requirements for Training. Download the Requirements for Training here.
The GWO Electrical Safety Refresher Module is aimed towards improving the participants´ ability to “work safely” with electricity. This means that the Electrical Safety Refresher Module is not aimed at improving candidates´ technical knowledge, skills, and abilities regarding electricity. Participants should already possess these technical knowledge, skills, and abilities before attending the module. Similarly, it is not the intention of the GWO CoHE standard to promote the acquisition of advanced knowledge, such as troubleshooting.
The aim of this module is to enable the participants to support and care for themselves and others while working with and in the vicinity of pressure fluids in the wind industry and to perform assigned tasks safely and efficiently.
Upon successful completion of GWO’s Pressure Fluid Safety Refresher Module, the participants will be able to work safely within the wind industry by being able to select the correct and required PPE for working with hydraulic fluids and fluids under pressure, using safe work practices and establishing a safe work condition when working with and in the vicinity of pressure fluids in the wind industry.
