Our GWO Enhanced First Aid Refresher course is specifically designed for wind industry professionals who are designated to act as first responders in emergency situations, whether working onshore or offshore. Developed in accordance with the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Enhanced First Aid standard, this refresher program ensures that participants maintain the advanced first aid skills required to deliver extended care in remote wind turbine environments while awaiting professional medical assistance. The course is ideal for technicians, supervisors, and HSE staff who are expected to provide life-saving support using advanced equipment and medical telecommunication tools.
The GWO Enhanced First Aid Refresher (EFA-R) is tailored for individuals with direct responsibilities involving wind turbines or offshore wind structures, particularly those selected by their employers as designated Enhanced First Aiders. This training reinforces the ability to respond effectively to incidents and helps reduce the severity of casualties related to industry-specific risks. Developed collaboratively by leading wind turbine manufacturers and operators, the standard reflects real incident statistics, task analyses, and risk assessments relevant to wind energy operations.
Certification from this course is recorded in the GWO WINDA database, allowing both participants and employers to track certification status. To remain compliant with GWO requirements, personnel must complete the GWO Enhanced First Aid Refresher every two years. The course is delivered in a single day and combines theoretical instruction with practical scenario-based training, ensuring that all participants are up to date with the latest techniques, guidelines, and developments in emergency response for the wind industry.
