The GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) – Initial programme at OEG Training provides learners with the knowledge and practical capability to work safely in wind turbine environments. This training covers the five core GWO modules: Working at Height, Manual Handling, Fire Awareness, First Aid, and Sea Survival. 

You will learn how to climb and work safely at height, apply safe lifting and movement techniques, prevent and respond to fire hazards, deliver effective first aid, and survive offshore emergencies. Through realistic, scenario‑based exercises, participants develop the confidence and competence to operate safely and efficiently in both onshore and offshore wind settings. 

The course is designed to build foundational safety skills, reduce operational risks, and meet the latest Global Wind Organisation (GWO) standards required by employers across the global wind sector.

At the end of the full GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) – Initial programme, you will be able to confidently work safely at height, apply correct manual handling techniques, identify and respond to fire hazards, deliver effective first aid, and perform safe transfers and survival techniques in offshore environments. 

You will demonstrate competence in fall‑prevention systems, ergonomic lifting, fire‑response actions, casualty assessment, vessel transfers, and open‑water survival. You will also be able to communicate clearly during emergency and operational tasks and contribute to a safe working environment, meeting the latest GWO global safety standards required by the wind industry.
