We are pleased to announce that our applications engineer for the wind industry market segment is now certified to work offshore, having completed the required “GWO BST Sea Survival” and Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET) with CA-EBS. Among the safety elements covered are personal safety, symptoms of drowning and hypothermia, use of LSA, PPE and PFPE equipment, first aid in case of a man overboard and evacuation procedures, training in pre-flight and in-flight requirements and emergency response knowledge and skills in the event of a helicopter emergency.

Previously we have supplied on-site installation support for our customers onshore wind farms, both close to home in Germany, and in countries across Europe and in North America. This “up-tower” field support allows us to better understand the applications, and to problem solve side by side with our customers. Along with being a very important service we offer our customers, it also provides valuable feedback to our own R&D team on the performance of our seals and the challenges we face.
