This course is designed for operators, technicians and specialists working in wind turbines, and will assist Learners to develop, practice and maintain safe work practices and everyday tasks, during rescue and evacuation activities.

GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) is targeted at personnel who are currently working or seeking to work in the wind industry, and will have their duties in a wind turbine environment.

Those who work on wind turbines must maintain currency of skills and competency in a range of safety and technical competencies.

Delivery includes:

• Digital theory learning and assessment
• Onsite practical exercises and assessment
• Using Height Safety equipment (e.g. controlled descent devices [CDD]) in a range of work simulated scenarios and applications.
• For CPR, we use Laerdal Medical's Resusci Anne QCPR resuscitation dummy and defibrillator system, which provides immediate digital interactive reporting on your technique.
• The Fire Extinguisher is a digital fire training system, called BullsEye, designed by Haagen, the global leaders in fire extinguisher and emergency response training hardware.

Upon completion of the BST, Learners will be equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to appropriately respond in the event of an emergency. Specifically, the Learner should be able to:

• Identify and mitigate risks and hazards in a wind farm.
• Understand the role and responsibilities of a first aider.
• Recognise and respond to life-threatening emergencies until emergency services arrive.
• Effectively confine and manage an emergency scene
