GWO First Aid Refresher (FAR) Training

The purpose of this First Aid Refresher Module is to review and build on previously acquired knowledge and skills of BST First Aid through theoretical and practical training so that Delegates can provide safe and effective First Aid, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) in a wind industry/WTG environment.

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.

Requirement

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. Delegates must possess a valid BST/BSTR certificate or training record in WINDA for the relevant Module before attending the BSTR training. Delegates must also have a personal Delegate profile in WINDA and provide their own WINDA ID before completing the BSTR training.
