Safe transfer baskets
Safe transfer basket inspections support secure personnel transfers and help maintain continuity of operations. Control Union supports compliance with occupational safety requirements and reduces the risk of undetected equipment defects during offshore and onshore crew movements.
Certified compliance for safe transfer baskets
Control Union operates as a recognised Safe Transfer A/S (West-Marine A/S) approved service centre, one of the few entities authorised to inspect and maintain personnel transfer baskets against DNV-ST-0378 and EN 14502-1. This manufacturer-backed approval means every inspection outcome holds up under regulatory scrutiny. Whether the work takes place onshore or offshore, organisations gain verified compliance from a single approved partner, removing the need to coordinate multiple providers.
Gain certainty with safe transfer basket inspection
Multi-skilled inspectors cut mobilisation costs
Control Union deploys certified experts who cover multiple disciplines in one visit. Fewer specialists on site means lower travel costs, especially for offshore helicopter rotations.
Consistent inspection quality
Certified experts receive continuous training and recertification, keeping inspection quality consistent across every location and cycle.
Five-year load test and NDT capability
Every five years, a comprehensive load test and non-destructive testing are mandatory. Control Union executes both in-house, keeping the full inspection cycle with one approved provider.
Fully independent and free of conflicts
Control Union has no ties to insurers or maintenance contractors. Inspection results are 100% objective, giving organisations findings that withstand external audits without question.
Active across energy and maritime sectors
Safe transfer basket inspection extends across the full industrial sector, including energy and maritime operations. One partner covers all relevant environments without switching providers.
