Training in action: real-life lifting and signalling scenarios
Here’s how GWO Slinger Signaller Training equips technicians for safe, effective lifting operations:
-
Coordinating a Nacelle Lift
A wind turbine technician, trained in GWO Slinger Signaller, coordinated a complex lift of a nacelle component, using proper signalling and rigging techniques. Their skills prevented equipment damage and ensured the safety of the team. -
Executing a Lift in Strong Winds
On an offshore platform, a team used their training to adjust a lift plan in response to strong winds. Their understanding of load dynamics and safety protocols enabled a safe, efficient operation.
These examples highlight the importance of GWO training in managing challenging lifting operations with precision and safety.
