GWO First Aid (FA) Training

The objective of the First Aid Module is to enable the trainees to provide safe and effective First Aid in the wind turbine industry/WTG environment, in accordance with the GWO First Aid training through theoretical and practical training. Furthermore, this training will enable the trainees to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use an automated external defibrillator (AED).

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. Furthermore, participants must have created a personal participant profile on WINDA and provided their own WINDA ID before completing the BST training.
