Facility

According to GWO standards and the characteristics of the courses, we have set up dedicated training classrooms; each classroom is able to accommodate 12 people, and provide various teaching aids in accordance with course content, in order to maintain our training quality. In our classrooms, we have set up interactive whiteboards that are able to connect various computers and operating systems, and synchronize/ integrate with various peripheral teaching equipment; this is to improve the learning effectiveness of the trainees.

 

According to the GWO standard, we have established a dedicated equipment maintenance system, including the following five main modules to implement training equipment: working at heights, first aid equipment, manual operation, sea survival, and fire awareness. Equipment safety inspections are carried out regularly, to filter out and replace defective equipment one by one, which maintains our training quality and safety.

The aim of this practice is to give the trainees the skills of transferring from the Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) to the offshore wind turbine Transition Piece (TP), to avoid personnel injuries and casualties caused by improper transferring at sea. Through classes and hands-on training, the trainees will be equipped with basic knowledge and skillset of maritime crew transfer: adopting the correct precautionary safety measures when transferring from the shore to the ship, or from the CTV to the wind turbine TP.

The aim of this practice is to let the trainees have a practical understanding of the basic knowledge and skills required when working at height, and the proper way to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), in order to safely work at heights and perform high angle rescue. The trainees will get to know the risk factors, hazards, regulations and protection measures of working at height, accurately identify aerial work PPE standards (e.g. European/ global standards), examine and utilize the PPE knowledge and skills related to aerial work, understand how to correctly climb to the engine room after entering wind turbines, and how to perform personnel rescue in emergency circumstances.
 

Trainees will be familiarized with the wind turbine environment, learn to use the basic hand-held fire-fighting equipment to extinguish fire in the event of a fire, and make appropriate judgements with basic fire-fighting/ fire prevention knowledge and skills when assessing a fire, so they can evacuate the personnel and ensure that all personnel are safely accounted for in the event of an unmanageable fire.

We will teach the trainees to learn the skills of sea survival and perform effective emergency rescue at sea, to improve the personnel’s chance of survival at sea. We will also provide them with an introduction to sea survival and relevant laws and regulations, and educate them how to properly utilize sea survival PPE in the offshore wind turbine environment, and apply survival skills concerning the human body in prevention of cold shock, hypothermia and drowning.
