Celebrating GWO's Community

GWO Safety and Training Awards

About the Awards

The GWO Safety & Training Awards were created to shine a light on the teams of instructors and support staff who make safety in wind possible. The GWO Safety & Training Awards is the world’s first programme of its kind recognising the skills and impact of training providers and instructors keeping the wind energy workforce safe on site. The success of GWO’s community of over 450 training providers is always something to celebrate. Building on the initial Safety & Training Awards of 2021, in 2022 we again shone a light on the winning GWO training teams and individuals.

The next GWO Safety & Training Awards are scheduled for early 2024.
