GWO Advanced Rescue Training (ART) Combined
GWO ART (Advanced Rescue Training) is part of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) course portfolio, which sets the standard for training in the global wind and renewable energy industry.
The standard has been developed in response to the demand for recognisable Advanced Rescue Training (ART) in the wind industry.
Course Overview
The GWO ART (Advanced Rescue Training) combined course elevates the self-reliance of wind personnel and provides the skills and knowledge to successfully transport a colleague who cannot self-evacuate to an assembly point until professional emergency responders arrive.
The training is based on risk assessments and factual incident and accident statistics pertaining to the installation, service and maintenance of wind turbine generators and wind power plants.
GWO ART aims to control the risks associated with rescue operations conducted in and from wind turbines to ensure more efficiency in the industry.
This is the combined GWO ART which includes all four modules covering rescue and single rescuer in the hub, spinner, inside blades, nacelle, tower and basesment sections of a wind turbine.
