The GWO Offshore Basic Safety Training - Refresher Package is designed to give participants the knowledge, skills, and abilities to work safely in an offshore wind turbine environment. This package is suitable for those who currently hold GWO certificates and are looking to refresh their training. If you are looking to work onshore only, take a look at our GWO Onshore Basic Safety Training - Refresher Package(https://www.saferatwork.com/gwo-onshore-basic-safety-training-refresher-package) Please note: The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has issued a letter to industry via SafetyOn, stating that HSE considers that for a person in the wind industry to be fully first aid trained they must have completed the GWO Enhanced First Aid (EFA) course, or equivalent. Therefore it may be more appropriate for you to undertake GWO Enhanced First Aid training instead. If you are not sure what course may be more suitable for your situation, please get in touch with us. ​ If you want to swap GWO First Aid for GWO Enhanced First Aid, take a look at our GWO Onshore Enhanced Safety Training - Refresher Package (https://www.saferatwork.com/gwo-onshore-enhanced-safety-training-refresher-package)or GWO Offshore Enhanced Safety Training - Refresher Package(https://www.saferatwork.com/gwo-enhanced-safety-training-refresher-package)
