This page is the hub for G+ campaigns, one-off workshops, and special reports that fall outside our core workstreams. Here you'll find initiatives that address emerging issues, spotlight industry best practices, or respond to specific safety challenges in offshore wind.
Manual Handling Campaign
In partnership with SafetyOn
Manual handling encompasses a wide range of incidents, with many crossovers and misconceptions. It is the leading cause of injuries in the wind industry, both on and offshore.
This video campaign aims to illustrate these incidents by suggesting good practice that's rooted in actual on-site experience and is reflective of all project phases for both the onshore and offshore wind industry.
FLiDAR Workshop
In partnership with IMCA and the Workboat Association
On the 20th of June 2025, the G+, IMCA and the Workboat Association came together in at workshop to consider the health and safety challenges of floating LiDAR buoy deployment, maintenance and recovery in the offshore wind industry. Attendees included representatives from the member companies of each organisation as well as LiDAR equipment manufacturers and survey providers. This was the first such collective gathering of the key parties involved in commissioning and delivering metocean campaigns for offshore wind project development.
G+ Confined Spaces in Floating Offshore Wind
On the 7th December 2023, the G+ held a virtual workshop on confined spaces in floating offshore wind. Floating OW designs include a higher number of confined spaces that need to be accessed offshore compared to fixed-bottom structures, where although work areas are often restricted, few are designated confined spaces.
G+ felt it was important to help raise awareness of this change in risk profile and the control measures necessary to safely access and work in confined spaces, but also to explore any unique aspects of confined spaces in floating offshore wind, the applicability of existing guidance and standards, and the need for any adjustments to better reflect the floating OW work environment.
Electrical Safe System of Work
In partnership with SafetyOn
SafetyOn and G+ have been working collaboratively to enhance safety protocols through the Safe System of Work (SSOW) workshops. The aim was to ensure a consistent and robust approach to safety that could be adopted globally across the wind industry. This report outlines the proceedings and findings from those workshops.
G+ CTV (Crew Transfer Vessel) Seatbelt video & posters
The G+ are delighted to announce that we have published a video (link) and posters (link) to encourage personnel aboard Crew Transfer Vessels to wear the seatbelts provided, while seated, and help improve the safety of the transits if an incident occurs.
This media has been developed from key CTV H&S recommendations in the recently published 3rd edition of the G+ Good practice guideline: The safe management of small service vessels used in the offshore wind industry (link).
All G+ members will be enforcing the use of seatbelts, via the G+ CTV Seatbelt Policy (link), across all their sites around the globe.
These materials can be used across the offshore wind and maritime industries to promote safe CTV practice.
Walk to Work Workshop
On the 9th of April 2024, The G+ and IMCA held a workshop with key industry representatives in response to incidents with Walk to Work (W2W) access systems in offshore wind. The purpose of the workshop was specifically to identify tangible steps the industry should take to deliver an improvement in safety performance of W2W access systems.
