GWO Basic Technical Training – Hazardous Energies Basic Safety (HEBS)

SKU: GWO HEBS

Course objective

The aim of the training is to make participants aware of the hazards associated with various energy sources in a wind turbine and to teach them how to behave safely in their presence. The course teaches how to avoid injuries caused by the accidental release of energy (e.g. electrical, hydraulic, mechanical or gravitational).

Duration: 4 hours

Course description

The training focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of energy control:

  • Types of energy: Identification of hazardous energy (electrical, fluid pressure, stored mechanical energy, heat),
  • LOTO procedures: Introduction to lockout and tagout systems,
  • Behaviour in emergency situations: Procedures for responding to incidents involving the release of energy,
  • Risk awareness: Learning to assess risks before commencing maintenance or installation work.

Duration

The course lasts 4 hours.

Prerequisites

  • Possession of a valid WINDA ID number,
  • At least 18 years of age,
  • No health contraindications,
  • Knowledge of technical modules (BTT) is recommended, but HEBS is often also required for non-technical personnel working in the vicinity of turbines.

Outcomes upon completion

The participant fully understands the hazards associated with hazardous energy and knows the principles of safe energy isolation. They are able to correctly interpret warning signs and LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) tags and labels. Through their attitude, they actively promote a safety culture on-site, effectively preventing personnel accidents.

Certificate validity

The certificate does not expire (it is valid indefinitely). GWO recognises that once acquired, the technical fundamentals remain valid unless standards change drastically.

Information about the completed training will be recorded in the international GWO WINDA database. The digital record allows authorised employers to instantly verify the holder’s qualifications.  For the participant, this means easy confirmation of competence worldwide without the need for paper documents.

What to bring

  • Valid identity document (ID card or passport),
