SIEMENS-GAMESA has become the first wind turbine manufacturer in China to be certified to provide Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Basic Safety Training (BST) training, according to Lloyd’s Register.
As informed, the GWO’s BST framework GWO was used by LR to assess SIEMENS-GAMESA’s approach to achieve a safer work environment.
The certificate was presented at SIEMENS-GAMESA’s Tianjin Training Centre, which is now authorised to provide safety training to other companies in China to help reduce risks for employees working in the wind power industry and promote an injury free work environment.
An assessment of potential hazards can include manual handling, fire awareness, working at heights, and sea survival.
“The goal is to verify that an organisation can consistently deliver training for its own employees, or to other company’s employees, to the relevant GWO Standards that are set by its members. This approach helps to develop common industry training and best practice processes on health and safety, and reducing risks,” says LR.
