GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) – Adaptive Learning
Description
RelyOn Australia is accredited by the Global Wind Organisation to deliver GWO Basic Safety Training (BST). This course is delivered by experienced ESI professionals, bringing a depth of knowledge and experience to the learner.
The GWO BST – Adaptive Learning course uses a blended approach, incorporating RelyOn’s innovative Adaptive Learning platform, Rhapsode, and a face-to-face practical assessment session.
The Adaptive Learning platform offers self-paced online learning, which tailors content to each participant’s knowledge level. After completing the online modules and knowledge assessments, participants will attend a face-to-face session for practical assessment. This flexible approach ensures a comprehensive learning experience, combining the convenience of digital learning with hands-on practice.
Our GWO programs are delivered in accordance with the following GWO Basic Safety Training Standard:
- GWO BST First Aid
- GWO BST Working at Heights
- GWO BST Fire Awareness
- GWO BST Manual Handling
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be awarded GWO certification for Basic Safety Training. Results will be recorded on the GWO global database (WINDA).
Additionally, students are awarded several nationally accredited Units of Competency (listed below).

Course aim
This course is designed for operators, technicians and specialists working in wind turbines, and will assist Learners to develop, practice and maintain safe work practices and everyday tasks, during rescue and evacuation activities.
Target learner group
GWO Basic Safety Training (BST) is targeted at personnel who are currently working or seeking to work in the wind industry, and will have their duties in a wind turbine environment.
Those who work on wind turbines must maintain currency of skills and competency in a range of safety and technical competencies.
Learning activities
Delivery includes:
- Digital theory learning and assessment
- Onsite practical exercises and assessment
- Using Height Safety equipment (e.g. controlled descent devices [CDD]) in a range of work simulated scenarios and applications.
- For CPR, we use Laerdal Medical’s Resusci Anne QCPR resuscitation dummy and defibrillator system, which provides immediate digital interactive reporting on your technique.
- The Fire Extinguisher is a digital fire training system, called BullsEye, designed by Haagen, the global leaders in fire extinguisher and emergency response training hardware.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the BST, Learners will be equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to appropriately respond in the event of an emergency.
Specifically, the Learner should be able to:
- Identify and mitigate risks and hazards in a wind farm.
- Understand the role and responsibilities of a first aider.
- Recognise and respond to life-threatening emergencies until emergency services arrive.
- Effectively confine and manage an emergency scene
- Correctly perform LV rescue
- Correctly perform rescue from heights.
- Correctly respond to a fire emergency (confining and extinguishing)
- Perform CPR according to ARC guidelines.
- Apply appropriate first aid procedures
- Effectively review and communicate details of the incident.
- Appropriately debrief from the incident.
- Apply correct manual handling techniques.
