Safety training
GWO Basic Safety Training / V20 10032026
The instructor shall:
Demonstrate common visual and audible signals used in W2W systems (e.g. traffic lights, stop signals, brace commands) using printed visuals, video clips, or classroom simulations
Facilitate an interactive exercise where participants interpret comm on Walk-to-Work signals and discuss the appropriate behavioural response
Highlight that different gangway systems may use slightly different signals and emphasise the need to clarify unfamiliar ones during operations
The participants shall:
Practise interpreting signals and alarms and match them with them with the correct behavioural response
Discuss potential differences between systems and outline steps they would take if a signal is unclear
Reflect on how quick and correct responses to signals enhance overall transfer safety
ELEMENT 8.3 - RISKS AND UNSAFE BEHAVIOUR
Learning objectives:
55) The participants can describe the risks associated with unsafe versus safe behaviour during operations, including hazards, transport of cargo, including tool, distraction, and movement (Knowledge, basic level)
The instructor shall:
Present examples of incidents and near-misses related to W2W transfers, including case studies that show risks such as distraction, slips/trips/falls, tool handling, and automatic disconnection
Facilitate a group analysis activity where participants identify behaviours that contributed to the incidents and propose safer alternatives
Guide a discussion on how transferee actions directly influence the overall safety of the transfer
