Beyond dedicating a workstream in 2022 to investigate safety of lifting operations, G+ has commissioned the design of a workshop for those people in the industry involved in routine, smaller lifts that are part of everyday operations. Designed for groups of offshore wind farm technicians, the 3-hour workshop can be facilitated by any person willing to become familiarised with the procedure of the workshop, aided by comprehensive workshop materials and facilitator notes.

The workshop covers the following topics:

  • Definition of routine lifts
  • Risks involved in routine lifts
  • Use of documentation to manage risks
  • Types of non-compliance that can occur
  • Reasons behind non-compliance
  • Actions to reduce non-compliance, e.g. redesigning procedures, worksite conditions promoting non-compliance

The focus of the workshop is to understand the reasons behind non-compliance and to jointly find ways how they can best be reduced and prevented in the future.

The workshop materials will be freely available for download on the G+ website in Q2 2022.
