Webster_presentation_MM What lessons can the emerging energy technologies sector learn from existing hazardous industries?
Our work ranges from helping to control the hazards posed by industrial plant, through to assisting in the management of the occupational health of workers. A key requirement running through all of this is an understanding of human behaviour in workplace environments.
Thompson_presentation_MM Consultation on proposals for modernising the Coastguard 2010
This presentation is focused on the "at sea" response. this paper is proposing a fully integrated network that can be much more resilient and far more capable of managing a major incident
Patrick_presentation_MM Control Assurance in Safety Risk Management
This presentation tries to analyse and develop effective safe work expectations (guidelines, SOPs, job plans, etc.) as well as review tasks where an adequate SOP is not available. Several possible incidents are explained, too.

HSE_Health-and-safety-training-standards-1 Health and safety training standards and requirements for personnel in the offshore wind power industry
With the rapid growth of the wind power industry in recent years, and the expected continued expansion to meet EU targets by 2050, the sector is in danger of suffering a skills shortage throughout the various types of employment within the industry.
HSE_Harmonised-HSE-standards-2 Harmonised HSE standards for the offshore wind power industry
The offshore wind energy industry can still be considered a fledgling industry, and as such there is little experience to draw on in relation to health and safety. The specific environment that an offshore wind farm presents requires its own dedicated health and safety standards. Furthermore the industry is set to grow substantially in the coming decades, so the development of health and safety procedures will need to be an ongoing process to ensure that best practice is consistently carried out, and standards do not become quickly out-dated.
labour_new Operation and Maintenance: Labour safety issues (health and safety)
This project report deals with the objective to investigate if aspects like licensing, health and safety, and labour safety have influence on the design of the turbines. In other words: are there any regulations that determine e.g. the turbine design, or limit certain design solutions?
hsc_new HSE challenges related to offshore renewable energy
This is a study of HSE issues related to current and future offshore wind power concepts. It covers potential serious incidents and major accidents (including environmental issues) as well as work-related accidents.
assesment Assessment & optimisation of operation and maintenance of offshore wind turbines
This paper describes two models for modelling the O&M aspects of offshore wind farms. One has been developed by TU-Delft, and the other one by ECN Wind Energy. The features and benefits of both models are illustrated by means of a case study for the 500 MW DOWEC wind farm.
underlying_new Underlying Causes of Offshore Incidents
This investigation reports contains 67 offshore incidents, involving fatalities and major injuries, which occurred over the period of 2004-2008. It determines and identifies as far as possible the underlying causes. The report also includes comparison with KP3, HCR and HSE Offshore Annual Accidents Reports.
wind_new Wind Turbine accident compilation
this list gives an overview over all fatalities, injuries and death while working on offshore wind platforms from 1975 up till today. It explains in detail what causes the situations.
