Get Up Safe is a unique heave compensated lifting solution that has been specifically designed to transfer personnel between Crew Transfer Vessels and the main external platform of an offshore wind turbine. 

GUS systems are activated and operated from the CTV via a wireless remote control and use integrated sensors to monitor vessel movement and instruct the hoist to take-in or pay-out line to maintain a safe distance between the person being transferred and the vessel deck.

Training in accordance with the Enhanced First Aid Standard will enable participants to support and care for others working in the industry by possessing the knowledge, skills, and ability of enhanced first aid. Upon completion of the GWO EFA training, participants will be able to administer safe, effective, and immediate lifesaving and enhanced first aid measures to save lives and give assistance in remote areas using advanced emergency equipment and medical teleconsultation. 

The aim of this module is to enable the participant to support and care for themselves and others while working with slinger signaling in the wind industry by possessing the required knowledge, skills, and ability to conduct assigned tasks safely and efficiently. Upon successful completion of GWO’s slinger signaler training course, the participant will be able to work within the wind industry conducting slinging techniques and signaling during simple lifting operations, meaning lifts conducted based on a lifting plan or covering known hazards.

This Basic Technical Training prepares participants for further company specific training by providing them with the necessary training to perform basic hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, and bolt tightening tasks. When technical work takes place within the wind turbine and the environment of a wind farm, hazardous energies are found in various forms posing a risk of injury to all workers. The Hazardous Energies Basic Safety module has been developed as a basic training on the risks related to hazardous energies in the wind industry to prepare workers to act safely when in the vicinity of hazardous energies or when working on systems and equipment containing hazardous energies. These courses will not make the participant a trained person who is allowed to perform hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, or bolt tightening work without supervision.
