The aim of this module is to enable the participant to support and care for themselves and others while working with slinger signaling in the wind industry by possessing the required knowledge, skills, and ability to conduct assigned tasks safely and efficiently. Upon successful completion of GWO’s slinger signaler training course, the participant will be able to work within the wind industry conducting slinging techniques and signaling during simple lifting operations, meaning lifts conducted based on a lifting plan or covering known hazards.

The EFA-R Training Standard shall enable participants to support and care for others working in the industry by possessing the knowledge, skills, and ability of enhanced first aid. The aim of this EFA-R module is to refresh current EFA skills through theoretical and practical training so that participants can administer safe and effective enhanced first aid in the wind industry. 

This Basic Technical Training prepares participants for further company specific training by providing them with the necessary training to perform basic hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, and bolt tightening tasks. When technical work takes place within the wind turbine and the environment of a wind farm, hazardous energies are found in various forms posing a risk of injury to all workers. The Hazardous Energies Basic Safety module has been developed as a basic training on the risks related to hazardous energies in the wind industry to prepare workers to act safely when in the vicinity of hazardous energies or when working on systems and equipment containing hazardous energies. These courses will not make the participant a trained person who is allowed to perform hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, or bolt tightening work without supervision.
