3584 G+ Good practice guideline - Governance of mechanical lifting operations in the offshore wind industry

Overview:

This new G+ good practice guidance aims 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 IMCA, this GPG builds on and signposts existing good practices and guidance (standards, recommendations, codes of practice etc.) from the wind industry and the wider marine and offshore energy sectors.

The GPG can be used, for example, to:

• establish consistent, common ground for the project, avoiding conflict between the
• systems of different parties (OWCs, contractors, original equipment manufacturers
• (OEMs) etc.);
• 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.
