Offshore Wind Farm Safety Assurance

The aim of this course is to introduce the concept of HSE risk management within the offshore wind industry, providing participants with a level of understanding of risk management principles commensurate with the magnitude of risks associated with this industry. It introduces practical tools and techniques to ensure offshore wind projects are conceived and executed safely and uses lessons learned from other more mature industries to establish an outline framework for a robust safety justification for an offshore wind farm.
