About GWO
The Enhanced First Aid working group completed a successful three day pilot test of the standard at the end of June, and GWO members are looking forward to its release in Autumn.
The Enhanced First Aid working group completed a successful three day pilot test of the standard at the end of June, and GWO members are looking forward to its release in Autumn.
On June 26-28 Rescue Center Denmark conducted the pilot test for the EFA training, which will provide skills for technicians to preserve the life of an injured colleague, especially when medical assistance is not physically available.
GWO training standards are scoped, designed and developed under the expert guidance of GWO Working Groups, with the support and advice of GWO Training Committee Advisor Haben Zekarias and Senior Training Advisor, Jakob Bjørn Nielsen.
Haben explained: "After more than a year's work, we are on track to deliver the Enhanced First Aid training standard in October. The feedback from members has been good, a number of which sent delegations of their own to the most recent pilot so that they could preview the training which they will provide for many of their technicians."
The demand for wind energy continues to grow at a steady pace. By 2028, the world will need over 532,000 technicians to build and maintain wind fleets, both onshore and offshore. Notably, 40% of these roles will need to be filled by new entrants
Brazilian Association of Wind Energy and New Technologies, ABEEólica, has signed an MOU in strategic partnership with training standards body GWO. Tried and tested collaboration will provide certainty for all stakeholders, aligning Brazil’s safety regulations with globally recognised standards.
GWO and IRENA will initiate discussions of how global standards can best support skilled workforce development, in line with 2030 targets. Co-publication of the Jobs4RE Workforce Training Guidelines for the Wind Industry is set to follow in 2025.
The next generation of wind turbine technicians have a new training pathway to follow, courtesy of guidelines presented today by the Japan Wind Power Association working with GWO.
This GWO Positioning Paper provides an introduction to the key ambitions and terms of reference for a proposed expansion in opportunities to use a merit approach to safety & technical training in the wind industry
