Electrical Safety

The aim of GWO’s Basic Safety CoHE training module is to enable the participants to act safely while working in the vicinity of hazardous energies in the wind industry and be able to perform assigned tasks safely.

Overall learning objective for the Basic Safety CoHE Module:

• The participants can solve the challenge of how to act safely while working in the vicinity of hazardous energies in the wind industry and will on their own initiative seek guidance when needed (Ability, basic level)

The aim of GWO’s Electrical Safety training module is to enable the participants to support and care for themselves and others while working with, and in the vicinity of, electricity in the wind industry and to perform assigned electrical work tasks safely and efficiently.

Upon successful completion of GWO’s Electrical Safety Module, the participants will be able to perform electrical work safely within the wind industry using electrical PPE, precautionary techniques, and electrical safety safe working practices to reduce the associated risks to the electrical hazards.

Overall learning objectives for the Electrical Safety Module:

• The participants can take responsibility for their own and others safety while working with, and in the vicinity of, electricity in the wind industry (Ability, intermediate level)
• The participants can take responsibility for correctly completing a simple permit to work from beginning to end as the person responsible for establishing a safe work condition (Ability, intermediate level)

Note: The GWO Electrical Safety Module is aimed towards improving the participants´ ability to “work safely” with electricity. This means that the Electrical Safety Module is not aimed at improving candidates´ technical knowledge, skills, and abilities regarding electricity.

Participants should already possess the needed technical knowledge, skills, and abilities before attending the module. Similarly, it is not the intention of the GWO CoHE standard to promote the acquisition of advanced knowledge, such as troubleshooting.
