In house reporting

• Quarterly reports (summary information, RIDDOR reportable, LTIF / TRIR, etc)

• Lessons learned reporting (monthly)


Future reporting - 2017

• Leading indicators• Direct cause analysis (LTIs):

– Cause of incident / event category list (Slip/Trip/Fall, hit by, struck by, etc)

– Causal factors (lack of attention, not following procedures, etc)

• Comparison with other industry sectors (networks / distribution, thermal generation, onshore wind, others?)

• Integration with ORE Catapult SPARTA database (UK O&M sites)

• Comparison with NWA safety forum statistics


What is the 2016 data showing?


The challenge going forward


G+ response to Bootle workshop

1. Consider how to improve engagement through the supply chain to ensure it is fully involved

• Further engage tier 1 supply chain companies through the FG

• Develop Safe by Design workshop programme beyond 2016

• Continue to promote and hold the annual G+ Stakeholder Forum

2. Recognise need to create a common, risk-based agenda for the sector

• Advance the G+ risk based agenda through improved incident data

• Supplement the risk based agenda with additional information e.g. from workshops, other organisations, etc.

• Develop the G+ operating plan (and share at the next Stakeholder Forum)



3. Actively engage with all relevant stakeholders including trade associations and others

• Prepare a G+ engagement plan covering strategic, structural and topic based engagement activity

• Undertake bilateral and multilateral engagement (specific subject agreements)

4. Drive the development and proper and consistent implementation of good practice

• Update our existing good practice guidelines based on user feedback

• Initiate peer review process of G+ sites to support cross learning and improvements



5. Identify quick wins to provide momentum for further change

• To investigate quick wins in:

– equipment

– training

– operating practices

– medical and physical fitness requirements

• Formation of a new industry steering committee (comprising representation from: G+, GWO, IMCA, RUK) – chaired by G+

• Agree additional resourcing through a permanent secondee placement

• Rebranding to ensure that the G+ better reflects their international and inclusive remit

• Information and knowledge sharing through e.g. Project Director’s forum (behavioural safety campaign material) – “Safety champions in offshore wind”
