Working at heights Refresher + R-Alf Training

The training GWO Working at Height Refresher is the refresher course of the GWO Working at Height. Every 2 years, this refresher course of GWO Working at Height needs to be completed. During this GWO Working at heights Refresher, all risks regarding working at height will be discussed and skills will be learned which can be beneficial in order to work in a safe way. After completing the Working at Height refresher, the delegate will be able to keep him/herself and his/her colleague’s safe in perilous situations in wind turbines.

The ISC R-Alf is equipped with an “over-speed brake” and therefore locks in both directions. This way, you can safely and in a controlled manner hoist or lower a load and/or person (or yourself). If you let go of the rope or lose control, the ISC R-Alf locks immediately.
