Industry safety and training body Global Wind Organisation has welcomed offshore wind developer Corio Generation as a leading member.
Corio, which has a 20GW-plus project portfolio across Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas, said it expects to contribute to the continuous improvement and global adoption of best practices in safety training across the offshore wind sector.
Jakob Lau Holst, CEO of Global Wind Organisation, said: “Corio is a unique organisation whose pipeline of projects across three continents brings a new dimension to our stakeholder group.
“We look forward to collaborating with them to help as we strive for an injury-free working environment in wind.”
Shane Kelly, Corio’s Head of Operations and Maintenance, added: “We share GWO’s commitment to standardised training for the offshore wind industry and see this as critical to continuous safety improvement and risk management.
“Being a member of GWO means we can share our expertise and global perspective in how to deliver and implement first-class training and play a meaningful role in promoting and strengthening the adoption of these safety standards.”
Kelly represents Corio on GWO’s Training Committee, bringing to the training body his 15 years’ experience in project delivery and operations including 12 years in the offshore wind industry in Europe and Asia.
In addition, Rachel Porto, Corio’s Head of Workplace Health, Safety, Environment and Social (WHSES), has joined GWO’s General Assembly to provide her expert advice gained from more than 16 years in the renewables sector on GWO’s strategy and work programmes.
