Renewables, which includes offshore wind,

wave and tidal, is a vibrant and developing
arena where safety for workers will be
paramount. There are many similarities with
the oil and gas industry but differences do
exist, mainly around the types of hazards
that personnel working in this environment
will experience.
30+ YEARS’ EXPERIENCE

We are building upon our 30+ years’ experience
of developing safe, competent workforces to the
oil and gas industry, and working closely with
the industry and many of its key organisations
and decision makers to help develop standards
and training programmes that will address their
specific challenges.
