The GWO Slinger Signaller standard working group is making progress
The GWO Slinger Signaller Working Group met at Equinor in Great Yarmouth during January to continue progress with the new training standard.
A GWO risk assessment for slinger signaling has been completed to produce a set of learning objectives, which in turn will be analyzed using a difficulty/importance/frequency (DIF) tool.
The group is on schedule and a number of key points were approved at the UK meeting as follows
The working group is now focusing on ensuring that as much as possible of the training will be practical exercises in order to support an optimum learning retention rate
The next Working Group meeting will be in Copenhagen on 11th March
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
