About this course

GWO WAH-R + SS-R

Introduction
During this refresher training, participants practise working safely at height in and around wind turbines and acting safely during boat transfers, offshore emergencies and evacuations.

The Working at Heights section focuses on the use of harnesses, fall protection systems, work positioning systems and rescue equipment. During the Sea Survival section, participants practise safe boat transfers, evacuations, survival techniques and the use of personal and collective survival equipment under controlled conditions.

Both sections focus on risk awareness, safe behaviour, teamwork and acting effectively in emergency situations.
