Working safely
Getting to work is important for everyone but especially for those who work 85 km off the Dutch coast, in the inhospitable environment of the North Sea. How to get to work safely and stay safe whilst operating on the Gemini OHVS and turbines?

Protecting people throughout construction and beyond
At Gemini, the focus is on keeping people safe and healthy, both during the construction phase as well as during Operations and Maintenance. The basic principle of all Health & Safety qualifications also applies to Gemini: don’t allow people to become hurt in the workplace.
Starting from that overall objective, an offshore wind park presented specific demands. The approach taken by Gemini involved an enormous number of activities. It started by dealing with all the daily tasks required for every contractor working on the project. Incident reports were reviewed and followed up, where necessary. Fortunately, no serious incidents took place during the construction phase. Each contractor must comply with Gemini’s safety regulations, also during the Operations & Maintenance phase.

The Permit to Work system developed by Gemini is an online instrument that keeps track of every crew member working on the turbines. The status of the turbines is also visible, as well as the location of the various vessels in the area.

Ensuring Safety and Efficiency: Training and Innovations at Gemini Wind Park
All those working at Gemini Wind Park must deal with offshore survival, working at heights, and rescue and fire awareness. Everyone must be qualified in all those areas. In order to keep track of every individual worker in the wind park, a ‘Permit to Work’ methodology was developed specifically for Gemini.
A control screen displays the status of the wind turbines, the location of the vessels and the number of crew – all in real time. Ingenious new techniques were used to get the workers safely to their workplace. For example, the Walk to Work system devised by German company Ampelmann proved to be very useful for the Gemini operation. This system ultimately extended the weather window during the construction phase, increasing workability in up to 4.5 metres of significant wave height.
