GWO Basic Safety Training / V20 10032026
After successfully having completed this lesson of the BST Sea Survival Module, the participants can:
52) Act safely and effectively during Walk -to-Work (W2W) operations by recognising gangway structure, signals, and associated risks, and applying appropriate behaviour throughout all transfer phases (Ability, intermediate level)
ELEMENT 8.1 - INTRODUCTION TO MOTION-COMPENSATED GANGWAYS
Learning objectives:
53) The participants can describe the purpose and structure of common motion-compensated gangways, including typical movements and dynamic/static components (Knowledge, basic level)
The instructor shall:
Facilitate a short discussion on the purpose of Walk-to-Work (W2W) systems as a method of offshore transfer, highlighting why they are used and how they reduce the risk of incidents and supports safe transfer practices
Present images or short video clips showing different types of motion-compensated gangways, guiding participants to observe structural components and typical movement
Lead a group activity where participants identify dynamic and static parts of the gangway and discuss how they function during transfers
The participants shall:
Engage actively in the discussion and share prior experiences or expectations of W2W operations
Identify key gangway components from visual examples and explain their function in the transfer process
Contribute observations on what they might experience during approach, crossing, and retreat when using a motion-compensated system
ELEMENT 8.2 - SIGNALS AND ALARMS
Learning objectives:
54) The participants can recognise common W2W signals and alarms, including stop, traffic light and describe appropriate responses (Knowledge, basic level)
