Maersk Training is to expand its Global Wind Organisation (GWO) training by making the courses available at its Aberdeen centre.
The Danish company said the courses consist of modules covering manual handling, first aid, fire awareness, work at height and sea survival.
“The safety standards are based on risk assessments and factual incident statistics within the industry related to the installation, service and maintenance of wind turbines,” Maersk Training said.
It will also offer GWO refresher courses in Aberdeen, allowing current certificates to be renewed.
If the refresher courses are taken prior to the expiry date of the existing certificate, they can be completed across three days, with one additional day if the GWO sea survival refresher is required, instead of doing the full course again, the company said.
SDIC Power Scotland health & safety advisor David Armour said: “By establishing the new GWO training facilities in Aberdeen, Maersk Training has responded to the expanding requirements of the offshore renewables industry.
“These facilities will allow our personnel to receive the same high level of training we have come to expect from Maersk Training and at a more convenient location for our projects.”
