The G+ Global Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation is delighted to invite you to their annual Stakeholder Forum 2021 on 03 & 04 March 2021. The theme of the event this year will be “worker involvement”. The G+ is conscious that the organisation is fairly well represented within Health and Safety teams and at a senior management level, but to have true impact it is thought that the G+ needs to have wider involvement with those out at site.

We hope that this year’s virtual event will enable greater involvement from remote stakeholders and reflect the truly global intent of the organisation.

The virtual platform will allow you to get actively involved in the forum before, after and at the event to network, listen to presentations, interact on relevant topics and follow up on recent developments.

The Stakeholder Forum consists of three parts: we will be sending further Outlook invitations to hold the time in your diary for the other sessions too.  All of these are accessed via Whova.

The Core Event will feature the opening address by Tove Lunde, chair of the G+ Board, an update on the G+ work programme 2020/21 followed by interactive table discussions on topics around worker involvement and a panel session where you have the opportunity to pose questions to representatives from supply chain, G+ Board and Focal Group members.

• Core event: Wednesday 3rd March
  • 10:30-13:30 (UTC)
  • US East Coast 05:30-08:30 (UTC -05:00)
  • Taiwan 18:30 – 21:30 (UTC +08:00)

We will also have two “regional” events, specifically for our stakeholders in the APAC and North America regions where topics relevant for their market and stage of operation are discussed and you are able to grow your network.

• North American Regional Event: Wednesday 3rd March
  • US East Coast 10:30-11:30 (UTC -05:00)
• APAC Regional Event: Thursday 4th March

The G+ has released the draft of their Helicopter Operations Good Practice Guidance document for stakeholder review and comment. The guidelines aim to help the offshore wind industry integrate helicopter operations safely into their projects, whether for routine logistical support, to meet a one-off need, or because helicopter assistance may be needed in an emergency.

If you would like to review the document, please download the comments sheet and send your comments to gplus@energyinst.org by the closing date of 19 October 2020.
