The aim of GWO Working at Heights module is to enable the participants, through theoretical and practical training, to use basic personal protective equipment, work safety at height and perform comprehensive basic rescue from height in a remote wind turbine environment.  This course is not designed to test the participants’ capability and aptitude for working at height, i.e. It is not a test for fear of heights.

The aim of the GWO Manual Handling module is to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries for wind technicians in the wind industry and enable participants to perform their tasks and activities in the safest possible way when working in a wind turbine environment.

The instructor should be aware that this module allows first time participants and refresher participants in the same classroom. Training should therefore incorporate the sharing of knowledge of the more experienced participants.
