The Global Wind Organisation is an international non-profit founded by leading turbine manufacturers and wind farm operators. Its mission is to harmonise and raise safety standards across the industry through structured, high‑quality training programmes.
Wind turbines are often located in remote areas, far from the immediate reach of emergency services whether in open countryside or offshore. Work at height, confined spaces, heavy components and demanding rescue scenarios make safety training absolutely essential. GWO courses therefore place strong emphasis on both theoretical knowledge and intensive hands‑on practice to ensure maximum safety for technicians working in these challenging environments.
By opening GWO courses, Polygon Singing Rock enables Czech technicians to obtain globally recognised certification without the need to travel abroad – a significant step forward for the domestic renewable energy sector.
Why the launch of GWO training at Polygon Singing Rock is a breakthrough
- First accredited centre in the Czech Republic – Czech technicians can now obtain an internationally recognised qualification without the need to travel abroad.
- Top‑tier training facilities – Polygon Singing Rock has long been one of the best‑equipped training centres for work at height.
- Growing demand for specialists – wind energy is one of the fastest‑growing segments of renewable energy in Europe.
What the GWO training includes.
According to the official GWO framework, the Basic Safety Training (BST) package consists of several key modules:
1. Working at Heights
- Safe movement and work inside a wind turbine
- Use of personal protective equipment
- Rescue and evacuation from height
2. First Aid
- Basic and enhanced first aid skills
- Stabilisation of injured persons until professional help arrives
- Specific injuries typical for wind turbine environments
3. Fire Awareness
- Fire prevention
- Extinguishing small fires
- Evacuation procedures inside a turbine
4. Manual Handling
- Ergonomic lifting and carrying techniques
- Reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries
The launch of GWO training at Polygon Singing Rock marks an important development for the Czech renewable energy industry. It enables:
- faster qualification of skilled technicians
- higher safety standards during construction and maintenance
- stronger competitiveness of Czech companies within the European wind market
