Your licence for safe and compliant work in the international wind industry.
Standing still is unthinkable in the wind industry. Safety and certification are not optional, but the standard. The Global Wind Organisation (GWO) has set this standard for working safely in the wind energy sector.
Safe Site – powered by Mennens – is a GWO-accredited training centre where your team will learn the crucial skills needed to work safely and effectively in a wind turbine environment. We combine hyper-realistic training with the legal certainty of proper certification.
Has it been more than two years since you completed your ‘GWO BST Working at Heights’ basic training course? If so, it’s time to refresh your knowledge. This refresher course will help you reacquaint yourself with the various fall protection equipment, personal protective equipment and vertical access systems. Safe rescue and evacuation procedures are also covered.
These training courses are compulsory for anyone carrying out work in a wind turbine environment:
GWO stands for Global Wind Organisation. This organisation, founded by leading wind energy companies, has developed an international standard for safety training to create an injury-free working environment.
A GWO certificate is valid for two years worldwide. However, for work in the Netherlands, the Health and Safety Catalogue for Wind Energy Companies requires an annual refresher course for the ‘Working at Height’ module. Our specialists ensure that you always meet the relevant requirements.
The Wind Industry Database (WINDA) is GWO’s global registration system. We record all GWO certificates awarded in this database. This serves as official, international proof of your competence.
The GWO standard is the industry-mandated standard. Virtually all wind farm owners and main contractors require a valid GWO certificate for access to their sites.
GWO BST (Basic Safety Training) is the basic training course for new employees. GWO BSTR (Basic Safety Training Refresher) is the shorter refresher course that you take before your current certificate expires.
Ensure your team can work safely and in compliance with regulations, anytime and anywhere. Choose the peace of mind that comes with an officially accredited GWO training course from Mennens.
