The Wind Energy Safety Training is an essential orientation program designed for personnel entering the wind power sector. Whether working on land-based (onshore) sites or marine-based (offshore) platforms, this course provides a comprehensive understanding of the unique hazards and safety protocols required to survive and thrive in the wind industry.
What You Will Learn
Industry Standards: Introduction to GWO (Global Wind Organisation) and local regulatory requirements.
Onshore vs. Offshore Hazards: Understanding the differences in environmental risks, from remote terrain access to maritime survival and boat transfers.
Turbine Anatomy & Safety: Identifying the main components of a Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) and the specific safety zones within the tower and nacelle.
Work at Height Awareness: Fundamental principles of fall protection and the importance of certified gear.
Emergency Response: Procedures for evacuation, weather-related shutdowns (lightning/high winds), and communication protocols in remote locations.
Marine Safety (Offshore focus): Basic sea survival concepts, helicopter safety, and the use of life jackets and immersion suits.
Key Benefits
All-in-One Foundation: Perfect for new starters, contractors, or management-level staff who need a broad safety overview.
Risk Mitigation: Teaches how to recognize and avoid the most common accidents in wind energy environments.
Operational Readiness: Prepares participants for the physical and mental demands of working in extreme energy landscapes.
