GWO Fire Awareness - Basic

The course contains a theoretical and a practical part.

The course explains how a fire starts and develops. You learn how and with what means a fire can be extinguished. Of course, the dangers of extinguishing a fire are also discussed. The following topics are covered during the course:

• Personal safety
• Theoretical foundation
• Origin and development (spread) of fire
• Causes of fire in a wind turbine
• The associated risks
• Identifying signs of fire hazard
• Evacuation planning related to fire and smoke risk
• Practising using different scenarios

This training is meant for people who have no experience with fire fighting, or don't (anymore) have a valid diploma GWO Firefighting.
Do you have a valid GWO Firefighting diploma, but will it expire soon? Then book a refresher course.
