GWO Refresh. First aid

During the refresher of the practice-oriented GWO First aid course, the participant learns to provide first aid to victims while working in the wind turbine environment. In addition to all elements of life-saving action, this course also discusses less life-threatening injuries and disorders. Injury assessment and illness assessment are also part of the training, specifically aimed at the wind turbine environment. After the course you will be broadly oriented and you will be able to act in almost all situations.

Target group: Repetition for everyone who works within the wind energy industry and who also has to conform to the international GWO guideline.

Prerequisites: In possession of a valid GWO First aid certificate
