🔦 Course Spotlight: GWO Advanced Rescue

Rescue in the wind industry isn’t theoretical.
It’s technical. It’s time-critical. And it has to be done right.

At Coast Training, our GWO Advanced Rescue course prepares experienced technicians to respond confidently in high-risk, complex environments — including confined spaces and vertical rescue scenarios.

The images attached capture our delegates:

🔹 Assessing and packaging a casualty for controlled extraction
🔹 Operating within a confined space environment
🔹 Configuring advanced rope and hauling systems
🔹 Working as a coordinated rescue team under pressure

This isn’t basic rescue training.

Advanced Rescue focuses on developing:

✔️ Structured casualty management
✔️ Rescue planning and risk assessment in restricted environments
✔️ Advanced lifting and lowering techniques
✔️ Clear communication and leadership during incidents
✔️ Safe, compliant system setup and equipment checks

We replicate real-world challenges technicians face inside turbines and associated infrastructure — limited access, restricted movement, and dynamic emergency scenarios.

Our goal is simple:
To ensure technicians leave not just certified — but competent, confident, and rescue-ready.

👏 Shoutout to our instructor Steve for capturing these great training shots.

📅 Upcoming courses are filling quickly.
If your team requires GWO Advanced Rescue certification or refresher training, get in touch today to secure a place.

We had the pleasure of attending the Siemens Gamesa Onshore UK & Ireland Contractor Partnership Day.

We were asked to deliver a presentation on the differences between GWO First Aid and Enhanced First Aid, focusing on what this means in practice for people working in the sector.

The day included us delivering first aid practical demonstrations, open discussions, and great opportunities to connect with others, all with a clear focus on safety and collaboration.

A huge thanks to Siemens Gamesa for hosting such a well-organised event and for inviting us to be part of it.
