GWO Wind Limited Access Offshore

GWO Wind Limited Access Offshore is a 1-day course for individuals who need to temporarily visit offshore wind turbines under supervision. The training provides participants with basic knowledge to act safely and responsibly during guided visits in an offshore environment.

This course has been developed for visitors who do not regularly work in wind turbines, but who on occasional trips require access to the facility. This could include, for example, inspectors, suppliers, project staff, customers, or other temporary visitors. The training is valid for visits that take place under supervision with a guide and is intended for persons who visit the wind turbine environment a maximum of 6 times per year. For persons who require recurring access or will be performing work in wind turbines, GWO Basic Safety Training is recommended instead.
