GWO Enhanced First Aid

The GWO Enhanced First Aid course is designed for professionals working in the wind energy sector who require both basic and advanced first aid skills tailored to the unique challenges of wind turbine environments. This hands-on training module combines essential first aid techniques with advanced emergency response, ensuring participants are prepared to provide immediate and effective care in remote or hard-to-access locations. The curriculum is developed in accordance with the Enhanced First Aid Standard set by the Global Wind Organization, equipping delegates with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage emergencies until professional help arrives.

Throughout this three-day program, participants will gain a deep understanding of the types of injuries that can occur while working on wind turbines, as well as the specific first aid measures required in such settings. The training emphasizes practical skills, including the use of advanced emergency equipment and medical teleconsultation, to support lifesaving interventions even when access to professional medical services is delayed. Realistic scenario-based exercises replicate the confined spaces and unique hazards found in wind turbine environments, ensuring delegates are fully prepared for real-world situations.

Upon successful completion of the GWO Enhanced First Aid course, participants will be able to deliver both basic and enhanced first aid, including advanced airway management, pain relief, and the use of automated external defibrillators. This certification is essential for anyone working in the wind industry who may be required to respond to medical emergencies in remote locations.
