GWO training standards are created by the Global Wind Organisation, a non-profit governing body established by wind turbine owners and manufacturers to create a consistent safety standard across the wind turbine industry. All GWO certificates are valid for two years and must be renewed to remain compliant. Without valid GWO basic safety training, personnel are not permitted to access onshore or offshore windfarms.
GWO Basic Safety Training (BST)
The GWO basic safety training BST package is the essential starting point for anyone entering the wind industry. It combines five modules. First aid, fire awareness, manual handling, working at height, and sea survival into a single certified package recognised by all GWO member companies worldwide. We offer both onshore and offshore versions depending on the nature of your role.

GWO Initial Modules
GWO training courses can also be completed as individual modules if you hold valid certification in some areas and only need to complete specific components. Our GWO initial modules include:
GWO Refreshers Courses
All GWO refresher training courses are available as standalone bookings. Refresher training must be completed before your current certificate expires to maintain your original certification date. If your certificate lapses, you will need to retake the full initial training. Refreshers are available for all individual modules including first aid, fire awareness, manual handling, working at height, sea survival, enhanced first aid, advanced rescue training, hub rescue, and the combined working at height and manual handling module.
Workplace Safety Courses
Alongside our GWO training courses, we also offer a range of workplace safety training courses suitable for any industry. These include Fire Warden Training, Manual Handling, PPE Inspection Competent Person, and our 2 Day Workplace First Aid course.
Prerequisites and Key Information
All delegates attending GWO courses must be registered on the WINDA database before arriving. If you do not have a WINDA ID we will create one for you. A valid photo ID and safety footwear are required for all practical sessions. Delegates must also complete a medical self-screening form before attending, as some aspects of GWO training are physically demanding. A general standard of fitness is required.
