New training to improve safety for workers who inspect and maintain wind turbines has been launched by the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) following a successful pilot by Hexis.
To support industry through the energy transition, the ECITB has worked with private training provider Hexis and offshore wind developers and supply chain companies, including Stowen, Scottish Power Renewables, Vattenfall, Worley, Equinor, SSE, Iberdrola (Scottish Power), Applus and Petrofrac to create a suite of training standards that will support the safe and effective delivery of wind turbine statutory equipment inspection and maintenance. The pilot, which took place at East Coast College in Lowestoft, saw eight delegates from Equinor, SSE, Stowen, Worley, Applus, Windhoist and East Coast College take the assessed course which covers all aspects of inspection and maintenance of wind turbine statutory equipment.
