The Service Lift User (SLU) module enables participants to correctly and safely operate a service lift inside a wind turbine generator (WTG). The training combines theoretical and practical exercises, following the latest GWO V5 standard (2025), and covers both normal and emergency operations.

Participants will learn how to:
– Understand legislation, standards, and manufacturer manuals related to lift operation;
– Identify lift components, safety systems, and functional principles;
– Perform pre-use inspections and verify lift readiness;
– Operate the lift safely, respecting danger zones and dropped-object prevention measures;
– Apply correct use of PPE and communication procedures during operation;
– React appropriately in case of lift malfunction or emergency evacuation;
– Perform shutdown procedures after use.

Objective:
By the end of the course, participants can take responsibility for using a wind turbine lift independently and safely, ensuring compliance with legal, technical, and safety requirements.
