About Tai-Hua Training Centre
Tai-Hua GWO Training Centre was jointly established by Great Sea Energy, XRA International , and Chung Hua University in response to Taiwan’s offshore wind industry development. Our mission is to cultivate local offshore wind professionals and provide localized, industry-aligned training services.

We deliver GWO-certified training programs, including the full Basic Safety Training (BST) modules: Working at Heights (WAH), Manual Handling (MH), Sea Survival (SS), First Aid (FA), and Fire Awareness (FAW). These courses equip trainees with essential qualifications recognized across the global offshore wind industry.

GWO Course Introduction
GWO Basic Safety Training, BST (Basic Safety Training) and BSTR (Basic Safety Training Refresher), consists of five programs, namely, First Aid Attendance (FA), Work at Height (WAH), Sea Survival (SS), Manual Handling (MH), and Fire Awareness (FAW). The purpose of the training is to provide basic safety awareness and training to all wind farm workers.
The training process includes theoretical fundamentals and practical session. All trainees must attend all courses in order to achieve the GWO standard and must pass the test before obtaining the license. Each license is valid for two years and must pass the BSTR refresher training within two months before the license expires in order to maintain the two-year validity period.
1. First Aid (FA):
- This is a basic first aid training designed for wind farm workers to ensure that when the wind farm is located in a remote area, they still have basic ambulance knowledge and operational experience to minimize the impact of accidents. The course content includes injury detection, trauma management, CPR... The course uses the elements of the wind farm as a practical exercise situation.
2. Manual Handling (MH):
- This course will cover the proper use of body structure and strength, as well as tips on how to avoid physical injuries and basic treatment during the course.
3. Fire Awareness (FAW):
- Since most wind farms are located in remote areas and not in areas where fire rescue can reach quickly, wind farm workers need to have excellent concepts of fire prevention and response when a fire occurs. The course includes basic fire concepts, escape drills in dark fires, and actual fire-fighting techniques.
4. Working at Heights (WAH):
- Aerial work is a common working environment in wind farms, such as climbing ladders and other daily situations, and also includes various aerial facilities such as wind turbine towers. Aerial work requires professional knowledge and operational skills, which is the highest threshold among all courses and the least exposed to the general public. The course content includes the understanding of personal safety equipment for working at height, the specification of working at height scenarios, the operation of basic climbing techniques, and drills for rescue situations.
5. Sea Survival (SS):
- This course is a must-have for those who need to work in offshore wind farms. The course content includes proper donning and doffing of life jackets, concepts and techniques of escape from the sea, and realistic drills for boat landing.
