This part-time course includes both online and in-person training at the training centre. The online part covers theoretical learning that must be completed before attending the centre, reducing the time required on-site. The same content is delivered as in a physical classroom, with additional support provided for any areas of uncertainty. The combination of theoretical and practical learning ensures a thorough understanding of each module topic.
Upon completion of the Basic Safety Training modules, participants will be able to possess an awareness of the hazards encountered when working within the wind industry and how to control and mitigate these hazards. The BST 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, emergency equipment and procedures.
