GWO BST Onshore
Purpose of GWO BST - Onshore
The Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Basic Safety Training (BST) – Onshore course provides essential safety skills for those working in the onshore wind industry, focusing on key areas such as first aid, working at heights, fire awareness, and manual handling.
