The offshore construction industry is at a crossroads, facing a pressing dilemma: a staggering 565,000 incidents and 123 fatalities were reported in the year 2021/22. These alarming statistics underscore the urgent need for a transformative shift in safety standards. Simultaneously, the emergence of floating offshore wind technology holds immense promise, paving the way for significant growth in renewable wind energy production, especially in deeper waters. Amidst this promising expansion, it’s crucial to emphasise the paramount importance of ensuring safety during offshore construction. Thus, traditional methods of health and safety training, once deemed sufficient, have proven inadequate in ensuring the well-being of offshore workers. It is clear that a new approach is needed to address this critical issue.
