The G+ collaborates with a variety of organisations involved in health and safety (H&S) in offshore wind and often works alongside stakeholders in producing publications to drive improvement in this sector of the industry. However, many of these companies have their own publications and resources, signposted below, to further increase awareness and performance of the industry’s endeavours in incident reduction.

Please email [email protected] if you wish to submit signposting suggestions for this page.

Our partners, Energy Institute (EI), also publish a wide range of technical guidance documents, research papers and standards to support the energy industry, which can be found here: Publications | Energy Institute.

Management systems and processes​

Management systems and processes are intended to identify and manage risks (such as safety, environmental, quality and business continuity) through an organised collection of rules, processes, practices, and resources.

Safety from the System

Safety from the System is the measures and practices put in place to ensure that systems, especially technological or organizational systems, are designed and operated in a way that protects individuals and assets from harm.

Underwater Working

Underwater working in offshore wind alludes to the various activities and operations conducted underwater as part of the installation, maintenance, and decommissioning of offshore wind farms. These activities are crucial for ensuring the stability, functionality, and safety of offshore wind turbines.

Transportation

Offshore wind turbine transportation and installation is a multi-step procedure that takes place in stages, typically in order. There are various issues that might make this procedure difficult. These issues might be attributed to either offshore site circumstances or technological limits of the installation vessels. Each project has its own set of unique parameters that necessitate a one-of-a-kind optimal solution.
