Description of changes

Module 1, First Aid Refresher reviewed, including updated duration of total contact time from 7 hours to 4 hours Substantial Changes to the Module: The module is decreased from 7 lessons to 4 lessons. The total contact time of the module is decreased from 7 hours to 4 hours. Lesson 2 is updated to focus on the practical application of the Primary Survey. Here, key learning objectives in the BST First Aid have been extracted to refresh the participants key prior experiences, knowledge, skills and abilities with an emphasis on practical application activities for the participants and feedback throughout to the participants´ performance. Lesson 3 is updated with a new split between mandatory and additional scenarios, which can be combined at will during the scenario-based training as long as all the mandatory scenarios are covered. The mandatory scenarios are: a. One electrical incident b. One incident with either a stroke (circulatory, respiratory, central nervous system) or a heart attack c. two scenarios must include a “head-to-toe” examination of the casualty d. CPR using an AED All the above updates are based on a training need analysis of what a wind technician needs to be able to do as a first aider. This analysis included a review of general injury and illness statistics from the GWO members among others origin from ON and OFF erection, service, lifting and transfer operations. In addition, the updates are also a consequence of the project scope given by the GWO Training Committee to increase the competitiveness of BST and BSTR First Aid modules e.g. by reducing the contact time, where working group has focused on combing instructional valid principles such as reducing the amount of (presented) information with a thorough analysis of training need to achieve the best possible outcome. Learning objectives for lessons 1 & 2 amended to singular participant in possible misalignment to gender neutral (plural) pronouns Module 2, Manual Handling Refresher reviewed, including reviewed annexes for Warm-up and Manual Handling Risk Assessment Substantial Changes to the Module: The module is decreased from 7 lessons to 5 lessons. Technical theory has been deleted and necessary theory has been transferred to be applied during the practical training. Warm-up. The warm-up lesson 3 focuses on building culture, and Annex 2 now offers an inspiring warm-up program that is possible to conduct on the pier and on larger vessels prior to transfer. Warm-up should not just be conducted in relation to the training. Warm-up is essential for mitigating musculoskeletal injuries, and a

culture of always to warm-up prior to manual handling and other physically demanding tasks must be always supported by training providers. The elements in the practical training and exercises are structured in work related physical postures: kneeling, lifting, pushing/pulling, carrying and so on. The 7 elements are inspired from G+ reports, Equinor study on Manual Handling (2018) and work group participants studies and experiences. Applying TILE principle is now part of all practical elements. Annex 3 – Manual Handling risk assessment – the guiding tools are unfolded to be more user-friendly for the instructor. Taxonomy alignment throughout - The section Understanding GWO learning objectives has been updated to reflect the reviewed GWO Taxonomy Framework - Few learning objectives have been updated with action verbs that reflect the taxonomic levels (basic, intermediate, and advanced level) without changing the content of the element - Action verb ‘demonstrate’ in learning objectives is changed to relevant action verb level/domain - Learning activity “demonstrate” was changed to ‘practice’ because during training activities, the participants are in a learning process and abilities should be trained, not evaluated - Learning activities have been aligned to match the updated learning objectives with a focus on participant engagement - The instructor’s perspective has been changed to a generic perspective accommodating different types of training - All instructor guidelines have been compiled in one section under the individual elements - More guidelines on the use of feedback have been added to emphasize its importance and ensure its effective use by involving the participants - All learning objectives have been numbered throughout the standard - New learning objectives have been created for all lessons that describe the overall ability the participants should acquire during the specific lesson. This focuses the attention on how knowledge and skills support the responsible performance of the employee in the context of the job and the deeper involvement enables participants to learn and remember more deeply - The Introduction lesson for all standards has been updated to ensure alignment between all GWO training standards for generic lessons - The Training Review lesson for all standards has been updated to ensure alignment between all GWO training standards for generic lessons - For all modules, the title of lesson Learning outcomes of the BSTR Module changed to Detailed description of the BSTR Module There are no changes to the technical content and the time duration of the standard.

5 G ENERAL R EQUIREMENTS FOR GWO BST R EFRESHER Upon completion of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Basic Safety Training Refresher (BSTR) participants will possess an awareness of the hazards encountered when working within the wind industry and how to control and mitigate these hazards. The BSTR will also equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to appropriately respond in the event of an emergency and to increase their safety through proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), emergency equipment and procedures. The approved GWO Basic Safety Training Refresher (BSTR) refreshes, reviews and builds on participants existing skills and tools obtained during BST Module courses, which include Fire Awareness, First Aid, Working at Heights, and Manual Handling Modules. To enable participants to work in the offshore environment, an additional GWO Sea Survival Module training shall be completed.

5.1 Overview

The GWO Basic Safety Training Refresher is divided into the following six modules:

1) First Aid Refresher 2) Manual Handling Refresher 3) Fire Awareness Refresher 4) Working at Heights Refresher 5) Working at Heights and manual handling combined refresher 6) Sea Survival Refresher

Note: Module five, Working at Heights & Manual Handling combined refresher is a combined module comprising the lessons and elements from both the Working at Heights Module and the Manual Handling Module and is intended to be delivered in one day. The combined Working at Height & Manual Handling Module can be delivered instead of the two standalone modules. Where the combined module is delivered then the participants shall receive two training records one for working at height and one for manual handling. 5.2 Target group Personnel who will be working in the wind industry or related fields and will have their duties in a wind turbine environment, usually in physical contact with a wind turbine or an offshore wind structure. Personnel that perform job functions that has been risk assessed by their employer or their workplace duty holder as a function, where training according to one or more modules of the BST standard may mitigate of the identified risks.

5.3 Aims and objectives

The aim of BSTR is to review and build on previously gained knowledge and skills from BST through theoretical and practical training.

6 U NDERSTAND GWO L EARNING O BJECTIVES AND T AXONOMY

6.1 Learning objectives Learning objectives describe what the participant should know and be able to do when the training is completed. The learning objectives in a training standard are based on the mitigating precautions analysed in the risk assessment. They are the foundation of the learning activities, the course contents and what the participant performance assessment must be based upon.

Coherence between the learning objectives, the learning activities and the assessment is essential.

The purpose of this alignment is twofold:

1. To conduct learning activities that are directly focused on reaching the learning objectives. 2. That assessment of how well the learning objectives are met is done in close coherence with what the participant is practising during the learning activities and in a comparable environment.

Figure 6-1 Alignment Triangle

Defining learning objectives in relation to all training elements ensures the alignment between objectives, activities, and the on-going participant assessment. More guidance about learning activities and evaluation can be found in the GWO Taxonomy Framework, annex to Requirements for Training Providers. To be able to focus training on building up the necessary abilities, the learning objectives are described according to the GWO taxonomy in the three domains: Knowledge, Skills, and Ability. Ability is what is performed and demonstrated during real-life exercises as well as in the real work situation and is the sum of personal experiences, knowledge, skills, and attitudes. 6.2 Learning activities Learning activities are planned, and systematic activities designed to create learning and enable the participants to reach the learning objectives. An important part of learning activities in GWO’s approach is that participants must be actively taking part, for example in verbal discussions and practical training. Hearing or seeing a presentation without any subsequent reflection or critical thinking can only create learning on a very low level and such one-way activity should be avoided. While the participants are practising, the instructor can assess whether they demonstrate that they have reached the actual learning objective.

Furthermore, when participants succeed through trying things out on their own, when they bring their relevant experience into play and when they use learning points from feedback; they develop a positive attitude towards the subject and a desire to improve their abilities in the work situation.

Reflection and experiential learning

Reflection is an essential part of the learning process and must be facilitated in all learning activities. We learn from experience, and we create experiences when we do something and afterwards reflect on and think about what just happened or what we just did and how it worked. Learning activities are what the participants must do to create the necessary experiences and learn and thereby reach the learning objectives – facilitated by the instructor.

This process is illustrated in the Experiential Learning Cycle to the left.

Figure 6-2 Learning Cycle, by David Kolb

Reflection is more than just thinking about something. Reflection is critical and constructive thinking, that must be initiated by the instructor’s feedback, questions, and challenges.

Feedback

The aim of feedback is to reduce the gap between the participant´s current performance and a desired goal. Feedback is by far the most effective way to generate reflection and so learning. At the basic taxonomic learning level, feedback must be provided to correct faults and encourage the participants to engage further. At the higher levels, feedback is more about coaching participants to find their own solutions. Suggestions help participants to figure out how they can do better, modify, and develop their knowledge and understanding relative to the learning objective. By posing challenging questions related to the given feedback the instructor initiates the necessary reflection within the participants. At the advanced level, feedback must be conducted in a dialogue where exploratory questions are the generator for the participants’ reflections. 6.3 Participants Assessment and evaluation The instructor can observe and evaluate the participants’ knowledge, skills, and abilities as well as the participants’ on-going development, when the participants are active. To support their observation the instructor may engage in dialogue with the participants to understand why the participants chose to solve the task the way they did, and to clarify their attitude towards the task or topic. The instructor must be attentive to the participants’ use of relevant terminology and correct facts in their group discussions within the domain of knowledge and when they answer more or less complex questions.

Global Wind Organisation

www.globalwindsafety.org

14 / 121

GWO Basic Safety Training Refresher V11

2022-04-01_TSR_BSTR_V11

When the participants are engaged in practical training, the instructor can investigate their understanding of the task and the relevant theory by questioning and clarifying dialogue. On the basic level of ability, assessment by observation alone may be difficult, and the instructor must explore the attitude of the participants by inquiry and dialogue while they are training. For example, to find out if the participants show interest in a topic or take responsibility in the situation (which could be problematic to observe) the instructor must go into a dialogue addressing the participants level of interest or awareness of the task or topic. Assessment of ability on the more complex levels calls for even more focused observation and dialogue. 6.4 The GWO Taxonomy Framework Taxonomy is a way of describing that there are different levels of learning; some may be quite easy to reach, and some are more complicated and demanding. The aim of the GWO Taxonomy Framework is to ensure coherence and conformity between learning objectives and their related learning activities delivered in a formal learning setting. The structure of the GWO Taxonomy is based on the three learning domains: Knowledge, Skills, and Ability. Learning objectives are also defined at three taxonomic levels: 1) Basic, 2) Intermediate, and 3) Advanced level.

Ability

“When we do our job, we apply our abilities.”

Ability covers the capacity to act responsibly, safely, and independently or in cooperation with others to meet a challenge or to get the job done. Ability can be thought of as everything we carry in the rucksack: our knowledge and skills, our accountability and ability to evaluate situations, make decisions, take responsibility, our caring for others and our social resources as well as our attitudes. In this definition, ability is what we apply in the reality of our workplaces and in life in general. Therefore, learning objectives within the Ability domain must challenge the participants initiative and individual reactions, and the degree of fidelity must be considered to enhance a realistic learning environment. In the field of Ability, the human factor plays a key role in the personal decision on responsibility and initiative and in the execution of “good habits “.

Action verbs

The taxonomy levels in the learning objectives are defined by a reasonable number of precise and explained action verbs (highlighted below). They are presented in a progression of increasing complexity – beginning on the Basic Level, where the participant can name, recognise or describe a tool or a procedure, and ending at the Advanced Level, where the participant can act responsibly, evaluate performance, assess decisions and supervise fellow workers.

GWO Basic Safety Training Refresher V11

2022-04-01_TSR_BSTR_V11

Learning objectives in this standard are also tagged with an indication of the domain and taxonomy level in brackets (e.g., Skills, intermediate level). This is done to emphasise the importance of the alignment between objectives and learning activities: at a Basic Level, the instructor may facilitate simple learning activities, and to reach more complex learning objectives, the complexity in activities must be raised accordingly. The taxonomic domains and levels are presented in the figure below.

7.1 Aims and objectives of the BSTR First Aid Module The aim of this BSTR First Aid Module is to refresh the participants prior experiences, knowledge, skills, and abilities to enable participants to recognise signs and symptoms of life threating situations and administer safe and effective first aid in the wind turbine industry/WTG environment in order to save lives, preventing further illness or injury, until the casualty can be handed over to the next level of care in case of an incident in the wind turbine

industry/WTG environment Overall learning objectives: After successfully having completed this BSTR First Aid Module, the participants can:

Act independently in recognising, assessing, and prioritising the need for basic first aid and providing lifesaving first aid until the casualty can be handed over to the next level of care in case of an incident in the wind turbine industry/WTG environment (Ability, intermediate level) Take responsibility for recognising their limitations as a basic first aider, calling for help and enable evacuation off the casualty in case of an incident in the wind turbine industry/WTG environment (Ability, intermediate level)

7.2 Duration of the BSTR First Aid Module

The total contact time for completing this first aid refresher module is estimated to be four hours. This is based on the time estimate given in the module timetable. The training provider must not exceed the times per day given in table 7-2 below. The training provider must ensure that sufficient time is allowed for participants with prior experience to share their experiences related to first aid in a way that is constructive for the entire class.
