Siemens Energy has been granted certification by the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) for its training facilities in Denmark, Germany, the UK, and the U.S.
The international industry certificate empowers Siemens to educate and train wind energy workers according to GWO’s international standard for basic safety training. Siemens acts as chairman of the GWO steering group. The GWO is a coalition of players in the wind energy market bringing together turbine manufacturers, owners and utilities. The aim of the GWO is to ensure that personnel working in the wind energy sector are trained to a risk-based safety level to face the challenges related to that particular work place. The organization has developed an international standard for basic safety training which covers: first aid, manual handling, fire awareness, working at heights, and, for offshore workers, sea survival training as well. The basic safety training standard was released in February 2012.
