GWO CoHE Pressure Fluid Safety
Duration: 1 day (classroom-based training only)
The aim of GWO’s CoHE Pressure Fluid Safety training module is to enable the participants to support and care for themselves and others while working with and in the vicinity of pressure fluids in the wind industry and to perform assigned tasks safely and efficiently.
Upon successful completion of GWO’s CoHE Pressure Fluid Safety Module, the participants will be able to reduce the associated risks to and work safely with pressure fluid tasks in the wind industry by being able to select the correct and required PPE for working with hydraulic fluids and fluids under pressure, using safe work practices and establishing a safe work condition when working with and in the vicinity of pressure fluids in the wind industry.
Overall learning objectives for the CoHE Pressure Fluid Safety Module, the participants can:
- Take responsability for their own and others safety while working with and in the vicinity of pressure fluids in the wind industry (Ability, intermediate level)
- Take responsibility for correctly completing a simple permit to work from beginning to end as the person responsible for establishing a safe work condition (Ability, intermediate level)

Training and experience prerequisites
There are prerequisites to attend the Pressure Fluid Safety module.
The participants must have completed the CoHE Basic Safety Module and the BTT Hydraulic module before attending the Pressure Fluid Safety Module. It is strongly recommended that before attending the Pressure Fluid Safety Module participants have some applicable working experience with pressure fluids supervised by a Qualified Person. This means that the participants should have experience working in a team lead by a Qualified Person, who performed pre-task briefings, isolations, and testing, created a safe work condition for others to work under, lead and supervise work parties.
Target Group
This module is targeted at candidates whose scope of work will involve performing isolations and testing for the absence of pressure (in accordance with existing documentation) to be able to safely carry out specific tasks like component replacement, servicing and planned corrective maintenance on pressure fluid systems.
Additionally, this person will also be responsible for establishing a safe work condition to enable others to work safely on pressure fluid systems.
