GWO Basic Safety Training Online Partial Refresher (BSTR-P)

To mitigate against the fading of skills and knowledge amongst technicians, GWO have analysed the basic safety refresher modules and released this interim standard as a way for already trained technicians to continue to work safely by enabling the technicians on site to practice the knowledge and skills that they have learned during GWO training and apply this to their daily work tasks.
