Vestas has signaled its intention to adopt Global Wind Organisation (GWO) safety training standards for its 10,000 directly employed technicians as well as subcontractors working on wind turbines.
The company, which is a founder member of Global Wind Organisation, already ensures most of its own employees receive the industry standard training. Today, it signed a new declaration at a group-wide meeting of health and safety leaders, which commits Vestas to use and incorporate GWO core safety training modules into its internal safety training policies for all directly employed and subcontracted personnel who work on wind turbines.
