The G+ has issued new good practice guidance (GPG), developed with IMCA, to share, advance and encourage good practice for the governance of lifting operations in the offshore wind industry, setting out the collective expectations of G+ members.
Developed in collaboration with experts in IMCA's Marine division, this GPG builds on and signposts existing good practices and guidance (including standards, recommendations, and codes of practice) from the wind industry and the wider marine and offshore energy sectors.
G+ is the global health and safety organisation bringing together the offshore wind industry to pursue shared goals and outcomes. It is run in partnership with the Energy Institute, which provides the secretariat and supports its work.
The GPG can be used to:
-
establish consistent, common ground for the project, avoiding conflict between the systems of different parties,
-
incorporate into company standards, procedures and practices,
-
incorporate into contract specifications,
-
provide prompts for use in gap analyses, audits and reviews, and
-
provide a resource to use in developing ‘golden rules’ for front-line personnel, such as the right and duty to stop work if there is imminent danger.
