It’s an exciting time for the global wind and offshore industries, with rapid growth around the world. But safety training is essential in these sectors to sustain current growth, whilst ensuring the safety of the workforce. In perilous environments, using training manikins is even more important during training.
The Global Wind Organisation (GWO) and the Global Wind energy Council (GWEC), produced a report ‘Global Wind Workforce Outlook 2022 – 2026’ which indicates that global onshore and offshore wind capacity is set to grow by 67% from 837GW in 2021 to 1,394GW in 2026, and a skilled workforce is needed to install and maintain this fleet safely and efficiently. The same report showed that more than 500,000 wind technicians will be needed by 2026.
