Global Wind Organisation Basic Safety Training | First Aid Module Perth   ·   Melbourne

Approved and regulated by the Global Wind Organisation (GWO), ERGT’s Basic Safety Training (BST) First Aid module has been developed to address the specific risks associated with the unique work environment of the wind sector and aims to train participants to respond to medical emergencies in order to save lives and prevent further injury.

In this module participants will learn to identify and assess common workplace injuries, provide immediate care, and employ appropriate first aid techniques.

The potential to be working in a confined nacelle, 90m or more off the ground, in a geographically isolated location with only vertical ladderways for access means it is imperative that workers have adequate training to maintain personal safety and to respond in the event of an emergency.v
