Overview The Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Basic Safety Training (BST) is a globally recognized safety program designed to equip wind industry professionals with essential safety knowledge and practical skills required for working in both onshore and offshore wind environments. Offered by Eduforce, a certified GWO training provider, this program forms the foundation for safety compliance in the wind energy sector and is mandatory for access to most wind turbine project sites worldwide. It ensures that participants understand hazards, know how to prevent incidents, and respond effectively in emergencies. Why GWO BST is Important Wind turbine technicians face high-risk environments involving work at height, fire hazards, manual handling, medical emergencies, and sea transfers. The GWO BST standard prepares individuals to: Prevent injuries and accidents Understand site-specific and industry-standard procedures Respond calmly and efficiently to emergencies Meet employer and site entry compliance requirements Modules Included in GWO BST The GWO BST is comprised of five core modules: ⛑️ 1. First Aid Life-saving emergency techniques CPR and AED use Managing bleeding, fractures, burns, and medical emergencies Primary and secondary casualty assessments 🔥 2. Fire Awareness Identifying fire hazards in turbines Fire prevention and containment strategies Safe use of fire extinguishers Emergency evacuation and smoke navigation 🧰 3. Manual Handling Correct lifting and movement techniques Understanding ergonomic risks Reducing musculoskeletal injuries Safe use of mechanical aids 🧗 4. Working at Heights Use of personal fall protection equipment (PFPE) Safe climbing, ladder use, and rescue techniques Fall arrest and work positioning systems Evacuation from heights (tower rescue drills) 🌊 5. Sea Survival (Required for Offshore Workers) Offshore safety procedures Safe vessel transfers and use of PPE Survival techniques in water Use of life jackets, immersion suits, and life rafts Note: Sea Survival is required only for offshore personnel. Learning Outcomes After completing the GWO BST program, participants will be able to: Apply basic first aid in wind turbine environments Identify and respond to fire hazards Move safely while lifting or handling tools and components Work confidently at heights using fall protection systems Survive and self-rescue in offshore emergencies (if Sea Survival is included) Who Should Attend?
