GWO Basic Safety Training (BST)Refresher

Refresh Your Safety Skills to Boost Your Wind Industry Career

GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) overview

Global Wind Organisation Basic Safety Training (BST) – Refresher training is a program designed for individuals who have already completed the full Global Wind Organisation Basic Safety Training (BST) – Initial course and need to refresh their skills and knowledge. The Global Wind Organisation Basic Safety Training (BST) – Refresher course serves to ensure that individuals maintain their competence and awareness of safety procedures in the wind industry.

What does it cover?

The GWO BST Refresher training covers the same modules as the GWO BST, they are:

  • GWO BST Working at Heights Refresher (WAH-R)
  • GWO BST First Aid Refresher (FA-R)
  • GWO BST Manual Handling Refresher (MH-R
  • GWO BST Fire Awareness Refresher (FAW-R)
  • Refresh knowledge and skills in working safely at heights, updating techniques and practices as per the latest safety standards.
  • Reinforce proficiency in manual handling techniques, focusing on current best practices to maintain safety and efficiency.
  • Update fire awareness training, including recent advancements in firefighting techniques and equipment specific to wind energy environments.
  • Renew first aid and CPR qualifications, ensuring readiness to handle medical emergencies with the most current procedures.
  • Update skills in risk assessment and hazard identification, to reflect changes in safety protocols and emerging risks in the industry.
  • Strengthen communication and coordination for emergency response, emphasising the integration of new tools and communication strategies.

The GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) Refresher course by Skylar Education is crucial for professionals in the wind industry to maintain their safety certifications and stay abreast of the latest safety standards. This focused training refreshes and updates the essential safety knowledge and skills necessary for various operational roles within the industry. Here are the key benefits based on the course information provided:

  1. Maintained Safety Skills: Participants refresh their knowledge and practical skills in working safely at heights, manual handling, fire awareness, and first aid, critical for maintaining safety and preventing accidents on wind projects.
  2. Continuous Industry Compliance: This refresher course ensures that professionals continue to meet the safety standards required by employers in the wind sector, aligning with the ongoing requirements set by the Global Wind Organisation (GWO).
  3. Updated Safety Awareness: Trainees revisit and update their ability to identify potential hazards and manage risks effectively, promoting a sustained culture of safety that benefits both individual professionals and their teams.
  4. Sustained Career Advancement: By renewing these essential safety certifications, participants ensure their employability and career progression within the renewable energy sector, especially in roles that demand up-to-date safety standards.
  5. Enhanced Emergency Response Preparedness: The training includes updated techniques in first aid and fire awareness, equipping participants to respond effectively to emergencies and manage unforeseen situations with confidence.
  6. Renewed Certification and Recognition: Successfully completing the refresher results in the renewal of nationally recognised units of competency, maintaining the participants’ professional profiles and recognition within the industry.
  7. Flexible Learning Options: Like the initial training, the refresher course is offered at multiple training centres across Australia or on-site at wind farm locations, providing logistical flexibility to meet the needs of individuals and organisations alike.

These benefits highlight the significance of the GWO BST Refresher course in supporting a safe working environment and promoting both individual and organisational development within the wind energy industry.

This course is ideal for individuals who have previously completed the GWO BST and are looking to renew their safety certifications to continue working in the wind industry
