What is GWO Safety Training Certification?

The Global Wind Organization (GWO) is a non-profit body founded by manufacturers and owners in the wind turbine industry.

The aim of the GWO is to achieve an injury-free work environment in the wind turbine industry through the deployment of common international standards for safety training and emergency procedures.

Certification bodies are required to audit training providers wishing to offer GWO-certified safety training. This process certifies a training provider to conduct training according to GWO standards using the required equipment in an appropriate environment.

Amtivo, formerly Orion Registrar, is one of the first North American certification bodies to provide GWO Certification to training providers.

Amtivo is unable to consult or support the implement your GWO safety training system – our expert auditors conduct the final certification of your GWO standardized training system once it is implemented.

How to Become Certified

It’s an easy process to become GWO Safety Training certified.

GWO Safety Training Certification is based on four pillars:

  • Physical resources.
  • Management systems.
  • Labor resources.
  • Training plus assessment.

Demonstrating that your safety training classes will consistently deliver the level of training and assessment required and that you have a management system that can formally document your organization’s training process will help you with the first two stages.

Ensuring the elements of your safety training classes are in line with national legislation and standards and that you can demonstrate to an auditor that all required elements of the training were completed and evaluated properly.

Amtivo is not able to support clients in implementing GWO Safety Training.

Help You Prepare

Our team will get in touch to outline the process and explain the plan for your initial assessment. We can also signpost you to any resources that you might find useful on your journey to becoming certified.

Identify Gaps

Referred to as a “Stage one assessment”, our auditor will conduct an initial review of your management system to determine if the core requirements of the standard are being met. We will provide a detailed report outlining the areas you need to focus on in order to comply with the requirements.

In-Depth Review

When you are ready, an auditor will conduct a “Stage two assessment” to establish if your organization meets the standard’s requirements. We review actions taken to address findings raised at Stage One, and our auditor will make a recommendation as to whether certification can be issued based on the audit outcomes.

Certification Issued

GWO Safety Training Certification FAQs

Will I receive a GWO training certification logo?

No. Amtivo is not permitted to provide any training providers with the GWO Safety Training Certification logo.

In order to receive an authorized copy of the logo, GWO must first receive a certificate from a training provider that was awarded by a certification body.

See the criteria for GWO logo usage here.

Do you provide ongoing support for GWO safety training?

Yes. Amtivo provides ongoing support after the initial certification.

After Stages 1 and 2 have been completed, and the training body has been certified, annual surveillance audits are required to ensure that the training provider’s certification is being maintained.

The surveillance audits are identical to the Stage 2 audit, with the management system and training session being audited on a sample basis. The auditor will provide an updated report, and any nonconformances must be addressed before continued certification.

Can you certify all my various training settings?

Yes, Amtivo is authorized to certify to all four training settings and modules that GWO covers. These are fixed facility, mobile, on-site and digital.
