G+ Global Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation

What G+ Global Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation does

G+ Global Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation is a London-based, non-profit industry body founded in 2013 (originally as G9) and delivered in partnership with the Energy Institute, which acts as secretariat. It convenes the world's largest offshore wind developers, owners, operators, and OEMs to collaborate on health and safety (H&S) performance across the full asset lifecycle, from development through decommissioning. Its membership is tiered: Full Members (lead operators of offshore wind projects above 1GW and OEMs of wind turbine generators) hold Board seats and govern strategy, budget and work programme at quarterly meetings; Associate Members (developers with site licence and planning consent above 30MW, non-lead operators, transmission network operators) participate in monthly Focal Groups across Europe, APAC, and the Americas.

G+ delivers six core services: mandatory incident data reporting (collected and analysed by the Energy Institute, with annual reports and Power BI dashboards back to 2013), a portfolio of Good Practice Guidelines covering topics from arc flash labelling to floating offshore wind HAZID, Safe by Design workshops (12 to date), the Toolbox web application for sharing incident lessons, Lifesaving Rules (available in English, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese), and the Wind Turbine Safety Rules (WTSR) and Wind Turbine System Safety Rules (WTSSR) framework for Safe System of Work. Additional outputs include Safety Alerts, annual Stakeholder Forums (10th in Paris 2024, 11th in Incheon 2025, 12th in London 2026, 2027 announced), and quarterly snapshots.

G+ is a membership-funded body with no disclosed revenue, no commercial product, and no public-facing API. Operations are organised through three regional Focal Groups (Europe, APAC, Americas), with regional offices in Taiwan and South Korea, and specialised partnerships with SafetyOn, IMCA, the Workboat Association, GWO, and the Wind Operational Safety Rules Group (WOSRG). The organisation has 14 employees and roughly 33 members including founding members EDF power solutions, Equinor, Iberdrola, JERA Nex bp, Ocean Winds, Ørsted, RWE, Siemens Gamesa, SSE Renewables, TotalEnergies, and Vattenfall, plus bp and Northland Power and approximately 24 associate members.

Core offering

G+ Global Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation is a non-profit, membership-based industry collaboration body that operates as the global H&S authority for the offshore wind sector. It collects mandatory incident data from all member companies across their worldwide offshore wind farm sites, publishes Good Practice Guidelines covering the full offshore wind lifecycle (design, construction, operation, decommissioning), delivers Safe by Design workshops, disseminates incident lessons via the Toolbox web application, and issues Lifesaving Rules and Wind Turbine Safety Rules (WTSR/WTSSR). Delivered in partnership with the Energy Institute, G+ convenes senior executives of leading operators and OEMs via a quarterly Board and monthly regional Focal Groups across Europe, APAC, and the Americas.

Product overview

G+ Global Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation is a health and safety organization for the offshore wind industry, not a technology product company. The organization operates as a membership-based industry body delivering six core services: Incident Data Reporting (collecting and analyzing health and safety data from member companies), Good Practice Guidelines (published guidance documents across multiple topics including Arc Flash, Floating Wind HAZID, Working at Height, Lifting Governance, and Marine Coordination), Safe by Design Workshops (exploring design-phase risk improvements), Learning from Incidents via the Toolbox web app (sharing incident lessons industry-wide), Lifesaving Rules (common safety rules for offshore wind), and Wind Turbine Safety Rules (WTSR & WTSSR providing Safe System of Work frameworks). Supporting offerings include annual G+ Incident Data Reports with Power BI visualization, Campaigns and Workshops addressing emerging safety issues, Case Studies of member initiatives, and the annual G+ Stakeholder Forum with regional events. The organization is delivered in partnership with the Energy Institute which provides secretariat services. Regional governance is provided through European, APAC, and Americas Focal Groups.
