C2 Vertical Safety AB

GWO BTT - Basic Technical Training

The Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Basic Technical Training standard is a new standard for training in the wind energy industry, and is an important and necessary step to increase safety and reduce risks when working on wind turbines.

The course provides the participant with a basic knowledge of safe working practices and equipment. After completing the training, the participant will have an awareness of the most common hazards that can occur when working with hydraulic, mechanical and electrical installation systems. No prior knowledge is required to participate in the training.

The programme is divided into four stand-alone modules, each of which can be completed independently.

The BTT Mechanical Module aims to enable the technician to solve basic mechanical tasks with safe working procedures and proper personal protective equipment at their disposal. The BTT Electrical Module enables the participant, under the supervision of an established wind power technician, to perform basic electrical tasks with clear safety procedures! The BTT Hydraulics Module gives the technician after completing the training, the ability to solve basic hydraulic tasks responsibly. The BTT Bolt Tightening Module is the module to improve the safety and quality of bolt tightening with powered tools and accessories in the wind industry. This module covers both how to tighten bolts safely and correctly, but also how to plan, document and review bolt tightening tasks.
