Objective

The aim of this module is to enable the participants, through theoretical and practical training, to use basic personal protective equipment, and behave safety during supervised visits to onshore wind turbine environment. After having successfully completed this WLA Onshore Module, the participants will have the ability to act safely and responsibly when using basic personal protective equipment, follow instructions given by supervisors and behave safely during supervised visits to onshore wind turbine environments (Ability, basic level). The aims of this Offshore Limited Access are, to build upon the skills and knowledge gained in the onshore module, giving participants the ability to act safely and responsibly when participating in a supervised visit to an offshore WTG environment during normal operations. After successfully having completed this Offshore Limited Access Module, the participants have the ability to act safely and responsibly during a supervised visit to an offshore WTG environment and to take limited responsibility for their own safety at sea and during transfers (Ability, intermediate level)

Target Group
