Get Up Safe - GUS

The Get Up Safe (GUS) system, developed by Pict Offshore, is a technology designed for safer and more efficient transfer of technicians to offshore wind turbines. It replaces traditional ladder climbs with a motion-compensated hoist, remotely controlled and tracked by lasers on the turbine. This eliminates the need for technicians to climb, reducing fatigue and increasing safety. 

GUS is required for work on Orsted offshore wind facilities.
