Responsibility
Do you have to follow a training course according to the Health and Safety Catalogue for Wind Energy Companies? Then a GWO training course is sufficient. Although the GWO certificate is valid for 2 years, the Health and Safety Catalogue for Wind Energy Companies states that working at height training courses must be repeated every year. Since the responsibility lies with you as the employer, you need to plan this yourself.
An additional advantage of the annual repetition is that you are also qualified to work abroad. In a number of countries, annual training is mandatory. More information about 'Verplichtingen voor windenergiebedrijven'.
