GWO Basic Safety Training (GWO BST)
The GWO BST training enables participants to support and care for themselves and others working in the industry by possessing the knowledge and skills of first aid, working at heights, manual handling, fire awareness, sea survival, and in case of an emergency, to be able to evacuate, rescue and provide appropriate first aid to casualties.
GWO Basic Technical Training (GWO BTT)
The GWO Basic Technical Training standardized training course on engineering work in a wind farm. This entry-level course does not require previous experience in hydraulic, mechanical, or electrical, although those with experience in those fields can update and improve their knowledge, especially since this course is dedicated to the Wind Industry.
A maintenance package that complies with GWO basic technical maintenance standards for technical work on wind farms. If you have experience in those fields, you can participate in this basic course to update and upgrade your own knowledge, especially this course is intended for the wind power industry.
GWO Advanced Rescue Training (GWO ART)
The GWO ART course shall enable delegates to perform entry-type injured person rescue operations in a WTG, using industry-standard rescue equipment, rescue methods, and techniques exceeding those of GWO Working at Height. The target group is personnel who will be working in the wind industry or related fields and will have their duties in a wind turbine environment.
GWO Enhanced First Aid Training (GWO EFA)
The EFA Training shall enable participants to support and care for others working in the industry by possessing the knowledge, skills, and ability of enhanced first aid. Upon completion of the GWO EFA training, participants will be able to administer safe, effective, and immediate lifesaving and enhanced first aid measures to save lives and give assistance in remote areas using advanced emergency equipment and medical teleconsultation.
GWO Sea Survival training
Ensuring the safety of your personnel working in offshore/ nearshore wind environments is paramount. VIVABLAST offers comprehensive GWO Sea Survival training programs designed to equip your team with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate emergency situations at sea. Our GWO Sea Survival training courses comply with the latest Global Wind Organisation standards and are led by experienced instructors who prioritize hands-on learning. Through a combination of classroom instruction and practical exercises, participants gain the confidence to effectively respond to emergencies. The aims of this module are, by theoretical and practical training, to give the participants the ability to act safely and responsibly and to take the correct preventive actions in all aspects of offshore operations from shore to installation vessel (or WTG) and vice versa. This is both during normal operations and in an offshore wind energy environment emergency.
