By means of a course evaluation by both Meridian and VHNZ, we received data from the trainers at VHNZ and a skill fade was quite apparent in both first aid and working at height advanced rescue. These problems range from limited access, weather, limited access to external medical assistance, limited rescue team members, height, restricted space, response time, limited coms, pain medication and working at height to name a few. Meridian has put a hefty focus on the uniqueness set of problems a wind farm and a wind turbine poses. VHNZ supported this from the start and maintained the journey Meridian has been on to ensure global best practice was being met and our request for targeted training was kept front of mind.

Meridian adapted the GWO Global Wind Organisation training requirements 8 years ago by committing to anyone working in a wind turbine having had to complete as a minimum Working at Height, First Aid, Manual Handling and Fire awareness/extinguisher or the higher or equivalent standard.

Quality targeted training has been identified as one of Meridians critical risk controls and VHNZ have always been onboard to ensure that they can deliver quality training that can really make difference. So the industry has been lucky to have had the opportunity to really target the training requirements by taken a broad risk based approach from global best practice. p. 29.The wind energy industry is a relativity new in comparison to other parts of the energy business. ^ "New Releases – For Week Starting November 13, 2000: Singles".^ "Gavin Top 40/Rhythm Crossover: Impact Dates".^ "Vertical Horizon Chart History (Pop Songs)".^ "Vertical Horizon Chart History (Alternative Airplay)".^ "Vertical Horizon Chart History (Adult Pop Songs)".^ "Vertical Horizon Chart History (Adult Alternative Songs)".
