TRAINING ACTIONS

Global Wind Organization (GWO) is a non-profit organization founded by a consortium of industrialists from the wind sector whose objective is to control risks in the working environment.

​

Members strive to create a working environment by establishing common international standards for safety training and emergency procedures.

​

GWO released the first version of the Basic Safety Training (BST) standard in 2012 in response to demand for a recognizable standard in the wind turbine industry. This was followed by the Basic Technical Training (BTT) Standard in 2017.

​

GWO has since launched a series of other training standards that align employer requirements for workers in various roles in the wind industry.​

The GWO Training Standards outline the requirements for training courses recommended by GWO members. By complying with GWO standards and criteria, certified training providers such as HTC Techniques Verticales are considered experienced and competent.

​

This GWO BST training enables participants to support themselves and others working in the industry by possessing knowledge and skills in First Aid, Working at Heights, Manual Handling, Fire Awareness, Marine Survival (environment Offshore) and in the event of an emergency, to be able to evacuate, rescue and provide appropriate first aid to the injured.
