Refresher Sea Survival (GWO)

Target group:

The Basic Safety Training Refresher (BSTR) is designed to review and regain the skills that will enable them to work in a safe manner in the wind industry and to meet emergency response training requirements for personnel new to the global wind industry. It is designed to accommodate personnel working both onshore and offshore. The target group for this training is personnel working in the wind industry or related fields needing to refresh their GWO BST/BSTR Sea Survival module.

Prerequisites:

Delegates must possess a valid BST or BSTR Sea Survival certificate prior to attending the training. Delegates participating in the Basic Safety Training shall be demonstrably medically fit and capable of fully participating. The delegate may not exceed the weight limit of 124kg due to the weight limitations of the equipment which is used during the training.

Objective:

Based on extensive experience in providing Sea Survival training for offshore and maritime personnel RelyOnNutec has developed a training programme for the wind industry. During this 1 day refresher course delegates refresher their knowledge and skills in survival​ at sea, including practical exercises on boat transfer, First Aid treatment, evacuation and survival techniques. The objective of this module is, by theoretical and practical training, to review and build on previously gained knowledge and skills to act safely and take the correct preventive actions in all aspects of offshore operations from shore to installation vessel or WTG, and vice versa; both during normal operation and in a given emergency in an offshore wind energy environment. WINDA is the global database which is used by the Global Wind Organisation (GWO). WINDA will make verification of training possible for training providers and employers. Delegates will have ownership of their own training records in WINDA. Participants will no longer be issued with paper certificates. RelyOnNutec will upload a digital record of the GWO certificate in WINDA. If you are participating in a GWO training course you must register for a delegate profile in WINDA. After registration you will receive a WINDA ID. You need this WINDA ID to book the training. Without a WINDA ID we are not able to produce certificates.
