GWO (Global Wind Organization) Certification
GWO Certification helps training providers in the renewable wind energy sector to create a better and safer working environment.
What is GWO Certification?
The Global Wind Organization (GWO) is a non-profit body formed by wind turbine manufacturers and owners. Starting in 2012, the GWO aims to use their collective knowledge and influence to make the global wind and energy sector a safer place for you to work.
GWO has since launched a range of other training standards which align the requirements of employers with those of workers carrying out various roles in the wind turbine industry.
Benefits of GWO Certification
- The GWO framework aligns generic safety and technical training standards, common to all wind energy companies;
- Having adopted the GWO framework, reduced duplication of training improves productivity by allowing technicians to be available for work, in some cases by as much as 5-6 additional work days every year;
- The GWO global training provider network is providing cost and efficiency gains to owner operators, manufacturers,and contractors. As the network grows, employers benefit from increased competition;
- GWO standards are established as contractual pre-requisite in the wind energy supply chain, helping align the safety training activities of all contractors.
