Global Wind Organization (GWO) is a global organization to ensure the safety of workers at offshore wind farm sites. The training standards set by GWO are to provide technicians with courses on the safety skills and knowledge they need during the work. Therefore, reduce the potential safety hazards related to wind turbine industry. At present, world-renowned wind farm developers, wind turbine manufacturers and suppliers all require their practitioners to participate in and pass the GWO Basic Technical Training (BST) to reduce the occurrence of occupational accidents and effectively increase the safety and productivity of employees.
TIWTC is the first certified training provider in Taiwan to apply for GWO certification courses.
