Orsted is partnering with Active Training Team (ATT) to build a learning centre that will benefit a number of industries across the Humber in the north-east UK.
The facility, to be designed by ATT and located at MODAL’s training complex in Immingham, will start off hosting an induction day developed for the construction team working on Orsted’s latest offshore wind farm, the 1386MW Hornsea 2.
The “fully immersive” training programme is designed to bring about transformational behavioural change in attitudes to safety.
Orsted’s Hornsea 2 senior project manager Jason Ledden said: “The three key elements that have proven to be the DNA of safe, successful projects are to plan, care and communicate to colleagues.
“This training will envelope all three of these elements into one impactful training session. We understand that there are a whole host of industries across the Humber which require the high standards of safety that we do; so, by allowing others to use the facility, we hope that we’ll be able to reduce safety-related incidents in a number of sectors across the region.”
ATT co-director Dermot Kerrigan said: “Thanks to Orsted’s investment, ATT have the opportunity to design a ground-breaking safety leadership centre of excellence on the Humber.
As well as creating a wind power version of the programme, for use by Orsted’s Hornsea 2 and other clients in the renewables sector, we also look forward to hosting bespoke versions developed for clients in a variety of industries in the region – and beyond.”
MODAL is a centre of excellence for maritime, logistics and safety training.
