GWO First Aid

About the course

When an accident occurs, you should be the first on the scene or together with colleagues to be able to perform basic first aid that ensures that the person is still alive when the Ambulance arrives and the Paramedics can take over. We review the most important life functions, life-saving first aid and procedures that can achieve the goal. Well, accidents do happen in the wind turbine industry, they are often serious accidents with catastrophic consequences if proper first aid cannot be provided. Based on the experience with these accidents, the course is built around the injuries you see most often in the industry and we do practical exercises that reflect these scenarios.
