GWO Fire Awareness (FAW) Training

The objective of this module is to provide participants with fundamental knowledge and skills through theoretical and practical training. Participants should be able to prevent fires, make sound judgments when evaluating fires, safely manage personnel evacuations, and ensure all accountability in the event of an uncontrollable fire. If the incident is deemed safe, participants should be able to efficiently extinguish the initial fire using basic firefighting equipment.

Target Audience

Personnel who will be working in the wind industry or related fields and will have their duties in a wind turbine environment, typically in physical contact with wind turbines or offshore wind structures. Personnel who perform job functions that have been assessed for risk by their employer or their workplace duty holder as a function, where training in accordance with one or more modules of the BST standard can mitigate the identified risks.

Prerequisites

All personnel participating in this training must be medically fit and able to participate fully. Participants' signatures attesting to their medical fitness will be collected before the start of the module. Furthermore, participants must have created a personal participant profile on WINDA and provided their own WINDA ID before completing the BST training.
