GWO Advanced Rescue Training (ART) in Belfast


GWO ART is an advanced wind safety course that develops a technician's ability to respond effectively to realistic rescue scenarios associated with working in and around wind turbines. The training is hands on and scenario based, with an emphasis on safe systems of work, communication, teamwork and controlled rescue techniques that meet industry expectations.


ART is about being rescue-ready for turbine work — calm, coordinated and competent when it matters most.


On wind sites, ART supports the rescue capability employers and clients expect—helping technicians respond safely to incidents involving height, confined areas and transfer within the turbine environment. Training is practical, instructor-led and aligned with GWO standards.

Advanced Rescue Techniques (ART)

Build confident, controlled rescue capability for wind turbine environments. You’ll practise advanced methods used on site, focusing on safe execution, clear roles, and working effectively as part of a rescue team.

Scenario-Based Turbine Rescue

ART is practical and realistic. Training is delivered through coached exercises and scenarios so you can apply techniques under pressure—communication, coordination and decision-making included.

Real-World Rescue Planning

It’s not just “doing a rescue”—it’s planning it properly. You’ll learn how to assess a situation, choose the right approach, manage risk, and coordinate as a team to meet GWO expectations on real sites.
